I'm running the RS 9000's and I just made sure they would extend longer and compress shorter than I needed. You can also try two floor jacks, one each on opposite corners. That helps compress and extend those two corners. Use the Rancho guide, here's a good one. RANCHO GUIDE
measuring for correct shock length and bump-stops
almost welding time for the shock mounts on the axle. I need to figure out total flex (primarily in the front, but in the rear as well). Once I know that I can determine the shock with correct travel, bolt to the axle and see how tall my upper mounts need to be and go shopping. Also, placing a bump-stop to eleminate the chance of blowing out my shocks would be a nice addition, so I need a realistic idea of what "full compression" is. The Jeep is NOT mobile so the idea of driving it up a ramp to find the max flex is not an option.
Ideas? I REALLY don't want to ruin a set or even one of my RS9000s.
