Re: Shocks for a 2" drop 97 Tahoe
On pretty much any vehicle you can completely remove the spring and the bump stop bumper. Jack the suspension up until it is bottomed metal to metal. A stock length shock will not be bottomed out in this position. Factory designed suspension this way.
As mentioned by some, ride on lowered vehicles that use shorter or "drop shocks" can be made even worse because now you have not only limited up travel with the shorter springs, down travel is now limited by the shock. Shock valving has to do with the type of shock not the length. The dampening of the shock is linear throughout the shock movement except on some specialized shocks like the internal bypass shock on the front of my 72.
