Will this damage my new shocks?

[brerben]

I just recently ordered a set of four Rancho RSX17000 series shocks for my 1996 Pathfinder 4x4. I will also soon be ordering a set of 2" lift coil springs from AC.

 

The shocks I ordered have the same extendable and collapseable specifications as stock. After I get the 2" lift, however, I understand that the shocks will be extended (more or less) an extra 2 inches, causing them to top out more often going over bumps.

 

I remember reading in the sticky thread "So you want to lift your pathfinder" that you should expect your shocks to top if you get a lift and that you shouldn't worry about it. However, I wanted to verify this with you guys that this will indeed not damage my shocks ( they weren't very cheap).

 

So, what are your opinions?

it will not damage your shocks in any way

 

 

the noise will scare you at first, but as soon as the springs settle, the noise will become rare

Shouldnt be any problem at all

You can run shocks for a stock suspension but when you lift it, you would want longer shocks so you can get more travel. If you keep the stock shocks after you lift it, they won''t "extend" any extra until you do swap them out with longer ones.
