Hey guys how high can we go before our shocks stretch out max? Mind you my offloading is just sand trails mud and river beds so not much at full extension

Are you talking stock shocks or what? Maximum "height" would be your rear shock at full extension.

Check my BDS shock thread. I have a measurement of my stock rear shocks on there. Measure your shock length now while parked. Then compare that measurement with my extended measurement and subtract the numbers from that extended length and add them to where you sit now. Thats how much more you can go.
Or go find a big rock and climb it untill your tire comes off the ground

You'll want longer than stock shocks for sure...
I've actually wondered at what point some of us are going to outgrow the Trailvoy BDS shock and maybe have to switch to a 6" lifted Tahoe shock. Especially now with correct geometry control arms available...

The rear will be trailblazer , if you did the front correctly would be a 2" body lift and a front tahoe full frame clip- I'm working with a shop on that , so I'll take the trailhoe name sometime lol but for now I'm staying fully gmt360 framewise

So you can have the Tahoe's crappy IFS as opposed to ours? Sounds like your money is better spent on a SAS.

I will be after Hardtrailz gives everyone a review of them. He has the first set, and he is trying to get them installed tonight.
After he gives everyone a review, then I will start making and selling more.
