[Swap] +2 Brand new Fox shocks for standard length.
It's a long shot but as above really. I would like to swap my boxed, never used +2" shocks for a set of new or lightly used standard length ones.

Project creep has set in and I don't want or need the lift anymore.

Just an fyi. A longer shock doesn’t have to be for a lift. You can run longer shocks at stock ride height. The only risk is the spring dislocating at full droop. But this could happen with a lift too depending on how it was lifted.

You can easily retain the springs or add dislocation cones. And chances are you wouldn’t be getting any extra flex on the front axle anyway. The shock length isn’t typically the first limitation to solve in the front.

Aaah brilliant . I'll chuck them on then and give it a go. Might put some cones on for extra points. Thanks for the excellent info. [/quote]

Doh! Was going to suggest different shock mounts but think they only sell 2” lower mounts not taller! Then your +2” shocks would run at standard height.
