Gen 2 OE rear shocks on gen 1

[Roush2012]

Has anyone tried removing and flipping the decals around on the rears or is that not possible?

Installed Gen2 rear shocks with only 20 miles on my 2013 today. I would say the hardest part is compressing the Gen2 shocks to install them. It is impossible to do them by hand. It occurred to me that you could use a floor jack. You need to compress them by 2 inches.

And if you are wondering, it is the driver side where you can't see the decal. Going to drive them for a few days and then measure the rear. I was at roughly 26.5" with my OEM 2.5s with only 45000 miles. Never off road but I could tell the rears were beginning to go.

if you think 2.5s are big then hold a 3.0 shock. 3.0 shocks are massive. I detailed the rear 3.0s and applied 2 coats of jet seal on them. should keep them clean.

Could you also let us know if they helped with wheel hop?

I want to know where people are seeing them up for sale.

Ebay buddy! Dirt cheap on there! That being said, rock auto has the gen 1 oem shocks for a deal that is pretty unreal...

Did they raise the rear end at all?
