Thats a very short shock. Get one off a mini, even they maybe to long.

Its that or go some 90series Konis for the front and 88series on the rear.

dnt worry about the lift, drive it to suit. I have lowwered the girls wagon from 4" to 2" because she had surgury and could not get into the wagon.
It drives like shit off road, lifts wheels everywhere and is harsh.

The winning car at cliffhanger this year runs at an equivellent hight to 7".

How many tuff truck entrents have a 2" lift?

suzuki use a 6 inch travel shock. the standard shocks on a zuke fully extended is sharter than my old 6 inch lift rancho shock body.

fox, king, race runner, FOA, radflo, etc. for the bigger dollars or koni, EFS extreme, bilstein, or dual procomp for the soft feeling at a reasonable price.

So what is wrong with your dobinson shocks?

I'm guessing you mean you have a 6" and want shocks to suit the lift?

Depends on what sort of vehicle you have, what sort of suspension setup you have whether it is light duty, medium duty or heavy duty? Do you want to go single shocks or dual shocks? Do you want bolt in or do you want to go custom fitment that would include relocating shock mounts etc? the more info you can provide of you, your setup and vehicle the better the answers will be

Dobinsons don't make 6" shocks for rear of patrols
I know they list 6" shocks in their catalogue but they are really 4" shocks
