Shocking question

[LD50]

Ok, I know it has been discussed in detail and i apologize for beating a dead horse in advance.

 

I want some new shocks and I was wondering if I could only do rears right now and run stock up front. Will this make it ride squirrely or anything? Second, I want some slightly longer shocks for a bit more flex (I do not have a SL). I referenced the shock part number thread and it appears as though the RS5116's are a tad longer both extended and collapsed, will these fit a non suspension lifted pathfinder? Lastly, I believe I read before that if one was to remove the rear sway bar (which I did today) and replaced the shocks with Rancho 5000's, the on-road and highway ride would still be quite good and limit body roll, is this correct?

 

Thanks in advance, and my apologies to the poor dead horse.

It will ride fine.

 

Yes, they fit fine.

 

It works OK, but be careful if you make any sharp turns on the road. The body roll is definitely increased with no swaybar.

Thanks 88. The ride around town today wasn't too bad, at highway speed it seemed like it would be a scary proposition to dodge anything. I'm getting a feel for it right now, might have to put it back on because I will be doing alot of highway driving in the months to come and there is alot of wildlife in these parts.
