I suspect those are 0-2'' King's (front).

• Product Brand: King
• Product Compressed Length: 16.13
• Product Extended Length: 25.45
• Product Travel: 9.32

The 2.5-5'':

• Product Brand: King
• Product Compressed Length: 18.11
• Product Extended Length: 28.87
• Product Travel: 10.76

And 6'':

• Product Brand: King
• Product Compressed Length: 19.13
• Product Extended Length: 30.96
• Product Travel: 11.83

Awesome info, thank you.
That pictured shock isn’t mine, just a pic I found on the forum.

My shocks, looking back at EVO part numbers from my Northridge order “should” be the 2.5 to 5”. I pinged northridge just this morning, and they believe the same. I’m hopeful this is indeed the case, and not the 0-2” kings. I wonder if the shock can be rebuilt / valved (?) for the the longer stroke if it is the one for the shorter lift. In any case, I’m currently believing that my shock is the 2.5 to 5” version.

I guess measuring at full drop would be best the way to check it out.

You're correct, the 2.5-5'' would be ideal, however the 6'' would also work with the right amount of bump spacing, spring type, shaft length, tire size, fenders (some or none) notwithstanding lol.

The shocks can't be modified for shaft length.. send them back if they're the 0-2'' and swapped out for 2.5-5''. That should be right in your ballpark for 2.5-3.5 srings... but I'd go to 6'' shocks with a 3.5 spring.

Cool deal, thanks for the info! You know your Kings!

I think I do.. still learning with the new JL.

Ditto with Option 1. Give the MC coils a chance for a minimal investment over a full swap out to MC.

OK, that being said, I went with MC’s 2.5” Game Changer w/Rocksports and am really pleased with this setup. It definitely provided more than 2.5” of lift and while I too have reached some of its limits in the rock gardens at Rausch, it identified that I need to work a little better on my lines and invest in some more armor.

Are those 37s or 35s?

They are 35’s.
