Default Long Travel Shocks
I got a 2 inch CRDSTU lift today. Thing is it lifted the car about 2.5 inchs.
I now need longer travel shocks because the top out pretty easy now. Which will destroy the standard shocks over the long run.

Basically anyone recommend long travel shocks for the Patriot?

Looks pretty cool with the lift. I'm happy with the height now.

Go back to the person who sold you the springs as its obviously not a complete package.

Hey Ben,

Mate can you send me your before and after ride height measurements, I'll compare it to the 50 odd Patriots i've done between Australia and the US. If its come up 2.5" then I'd say it was down (sagged) more than the others. The average ride height achieved with my coils is 500mm center of wheel to guard in the front and 505/510mm in the rear.

In all cases they dont require longer travel shocks. You're severely limited by the Patriots suspension setup as to the length of your shock travel anyway.

And YOM, it is a complete package - 4 coils is all that's required.

Regards
Stu
