How much would it limit upwards travel fitting +2" shocks but keeping original springs?

I suppose id be asking to much for someone with a 2"lift to experiment for me :whistle:

would a set up like im thinking be at all beneficial offroad even if there is a loss of upwards travel?

Take care fitting this set-up, with 2" shocks and your standard springs :
these springs could pop out when you having a droop from a wheel on some axle-twisters !

Castor correction is not really needed with a 2" lift but you will have more tension on the bushes and they can worn out much faster.

I understand a spring is not comparable to a shock it was just an easy way to explain my thinking :laugh:

I am aware of possible dislocation which is why id think of fittin spring clamps

so caster correction bushes would be advised to avoid having to replace bushes all the time?

My jimny is my daily driver and used for green laning so a compromise for the 2 is what id want. Laning with idiotmobil I noticed the ride quality looked much better on his didnt look like he was getting bounced/jolted around so much.i believe he uses es1000's.

is the n2.0 more of an offroad specific shock over the es1000?

I heard that the rough country n2 have thinner shock bodies than the pro-comp es1000 and that at extreme angles the procomp can come into contact with springs, panard and such.. for that reason apart from ride the n2 is a better choice IMO

I heard that about the es9000 as they have a "fat body" didnt realise the es1000 suffered it aswell!! Are the n2.0's more comfortable (smoother ride quality) on and off road then the procomps?

only saying what I heard... cannot comment on ride quality as only have N's which are fine for what I do..

Can anyone verify this issue regarding the es1000's? How do the n2's ride on and off road compared to the stock suspension?
