shocks
 
im looking at buying some toxic shocks and was wondering about their shocks for the amount of drop i have. I recently ordered 2" drop hangers and i will have about 6-7 inches of drop in the back. They have shocks for a 0-4 inch drop than a 4-8 inch drop, but the 4-8 inch drop says "flip kit" Does the shock mount in a different spot for the flip kit? Or is it still in the same spot?

I dunno which one to order?

Re: shocks

yes the shock extenders i recomend, they will put your shock angles closer to stock angles, without the extenders, then your shocks will be in more of an angle,

your suspension moves up and down, not front to rear.
