Default Anyone use shock extenders on a 2/4 drop?

I am researching parts for my 2/4 drop and I ran across shoxk extenders, just wondering if anyone else uses them..

Belltech's Shock Extensions are used on lowered trucks and SUVs to correct the angle and position that the shock sits in. It attaches to the lower shock mount and allows the use of a longer shock, allong with putting it at a better angle to work properly in suspension dampening.

That is what I am thinking, I want to run Bilstein (sp) shocks cause they ride good, IMO... With these it will be like it is at stock ride height or at least that is what it says...

i dont believe the extenders will compensate for a 4" drop in back. maybe an inch or so. call belltech this week...their tech support group is solid. i wish bilstein made drop shocks for our trucks....they had them for OBS trucks....hmmm

I just installed one that came with the djm kit on 53RUSSELL's truck, it helps to keep the shocks at a better angle(more vertical).
his was only for the passenger side though

I only have 2" shackles... I might be interested in your hangers if you want to part with them. PM me a price.

i hear of this...but i didnt know there wer kits...a friends friend welded the mounts to use the stock hight shocks..they are longer..he has a 08 crew cab idk the exact drop on it..and like bright teal said they would stand at a more vertical angle..and with just triming the bump stop a bit it should be like stock......one would asume.

Hmmm, sounds pretty cool, I wonder how close the shocks are to the ground with these. Still plenty of clearance I would imagine.
