LIFT QUESTION

[AC77]

Hello, ive been researching on 2.5" lift kits, VEO, AEV, Mopar etc
looking at the EVO 2.5 lift kit Enforcer, when i chose the 2.5 overland stage 2 for example, from the drop down shock menu, its states, 2.0" Bilstein or 2.5" King
im a bit confused, if its a 2.5" lift kit, why would there be a 2.0" option ?
Thanks in advance

I believe they are referencing the shock diameter.

Yes that's the shock diameter.

The valve body ? Hmmm ok. So the 2.5” hold more oil
Im guessing ?

The larger the diameter, the more fluid it can hold and the larger the internal parts (generally). What this adds up to is more resistance to shock fade and better performance all around. When the shocks are working a lot, this causes heat buildup. Once the fluid gets too hot, it's ability to dampen is greatly reduced. This typically happens on higher speed trails and off road courses. The larger diameter shocks are better equipped to resist shock fade. If you need additional performance, a remote reservoir shock is your next step. If you're a pavement princess, the higher cost of 2.5 shocks may not be worth the extra cost.

But they look badass tho, that is all it matters. ?
