Shock recommendations...
Vehicle: 85 nissan 720
I just flipped my middle leaf and it dropped me about 3" inches.
Now, I have a few questions.
Will GR-2s or gas-a-justs handle that much lowering, or will they blow out shortly?
What shocks would you recommend using?
Would I be better off going through kyb's catalog and finding a shock that is 3" shorter comrpessed/expanded with the same mounting styles?
Thanks...

I Put some Edelbrock Monotube racing dampers on my flip kitted, and Coil sprung Ranger. I have them for sale $40/each if you want them. they only have a few hundred miles on them, and are fitted with Spherical Bearings on both ends, not cheap Rubber.
If you want I can help you engineer a solution, since I have a TON of catalogs on my computer to scan through. feel free to call the shop 813-333-1100
