Well my rough country +3 rear shocks are f**ked so it's time to replace them, now I really want old man emu but they're only available in +1 without doing a fair bit of work (don't have time to be messing about at the minute) so my question is will I notice that much difference loosing 2" of flex bearing in mind I've got a from locker and a bloody big winch if the going gets really tough.

Cheers in advance.

I run with a +2" suspension lift and stock shocks on both my trucks. You just have to give it a bit more welly to get past things. If you have a locker up front then it matters less if one front wheel lifts off the ground.

That's my thinking too mate, just thought I'd post this and see what other people's views are. Plus I've not posted on here for ages so thought I better show my face!!

I would say Pete try and do best of both worlds. Try looking at patrol rear fitment as they are the same as trooper loop to loop and they do plus sizes but you'll have to look at the lengths and such
