I installed my tera flex revolver shackles today...
they work great, except my brake lines and shocks don't allow for full flex.

Which shock should I go with thats cheap... I dont have a whole lot of money

I am thinking for the rear 10-12 travel... and for the front around 12-14

that sound right...

I guess I should mention that I am SUA and 4 inch lift.

You can go to 4wheelers and use rti ramp to get correct length for full flex.

Well to start off Rancho's Buy 3 get 1 free is still ON till 4/30. Second you cannot just throw longer shocks on there to get more droop, just as important is up travel. To get a longer shock on there you will probably have to raise your upper shock mounts up. Custom shock hoops can easily be made for the front and the rear is a bit more tricky but can be done.

I havent been able to flex anything because for one my brake lines in the front are to short. so before I use a ramp I need the longer brake lines.

and the rear bottoms out the shock stroke.

front drops until the brake line extens its max.

Flag 4x4 might have the brake lines...hahahahahahaha. Sorry, I guess you could give them a call. They will likely want $50 a piece if they do have them.

Just pull the bolt in the frame to the shocks out. They are way overrated. You could also cut your brake lines in the middle and splice them with a piece of drinking straw from McD's, they are the same diameter.

















or call 4 Wheelers or Absolute offroad.
