I've never replaced mine and they've been fine. I think the rears are on the limit though, due to body lift and shackle lift. If I ever need to change them I'd go +2 Pro comps or something similar.

No problem with a body lift,but if you lift the suspension you'll have to change the rear shocks to suit.

Erm a bodylift just lifts the body , doesn't affect the suspension so yes you can lol . Was this a trick question or a typing error
