UCAs and shocks

[calcal]

im buying a set of UCAs tomorrow from snake racing. i currently have OME shocks in the nav and was just wondering will these shocks be ok with the new control arms?? cheers calcal

You should have no worries using any set of shocks.
The UCA will only increase the distance between it and the top hat.
Have fun installing them too

Are they 2" lifted shocks to suit your 2"lift? The only reason they may not work is if the shock comes to full extension before the complete down travel of the new uca. If the uca is at full down travel and shock still has room to move they will be fine. My guess would be that the cv angle would max out before the shock anyway. Let us know how you go. What $$ did you pay

Goodluck with it. I will be installing mine once I work out whether I really need them. At the moment its more of a want then a need so its far down on my list.

Get some pics up once they are in. Also one at flex. Cheers

I had a 2" iron man lift in my navara and added the control arms with no problems, they hit the bump stops before the shock reached full extension. Something else to look out for is if the control arm clears the shock at full extension, mine didn't so a little more room was made with a grinder!
