is this shock okay to use with 2.5" leveling kit in front

Yes it will work but your leveling kit will most likely come with new extended shock mounts.

I am not sure about 2.5 inches. I bought it because I put a leveler on my truck by replacing the torqtion keys. When I replaced them my factory shocks were maxed out. These shocks were long enough to normalize my truck. I am not sure how much height the keys gave me to say it will fit 2.5 but I think the keys were close to that. Hope this helps.

Its a great edition to my giant MTB, beings your running on a small frame it will raise the front ride height so be prepared. All in all it is a very compatible shock. Get your measurements right tho! So you won't be unhappy. also it only works with disc brakes.

I have installed the shock so I cannot answers your questions, but I can say that the shock work great. You will have to use the skinniest spring compressor you can find or the it will bind against the shock. (Real pain with wrong tools)

You might want my to get the Heady Duty version of the same shock. If memory serves me the factory rep told me that 250 is the magical number for the standard and more than that is the Heavy Duty set. Of course you could call them and get their expert opinion. They were very helpful for me.

I've never tried it but I'm certain it would. With that said, I wouldn't recommend this approach without including a shock mount in the mix.

I have a 2014 JK with a 2.5" lift. My front and rear shocks are both 21" installed. Should have no problem with your needs. BTW, best shocks I've ever owned! Replaced some Rough Country shocks that made my Jeep ride like a tractor. Took about 2 weeks of adjusting the shocks and tire pressure to find the perfect mix.

I believe it's 2.5"at the end, so as long as you mount it with an adapter pipe which any so should have than yes

It should help a bit.. They raised my 2 whl drive and inch or so. It looked much better after the install without hurting the ride... The shocks are no harsher than oem

not sure bro, what lift do yo u have on the truck. if you are talking about 4" that is body lift and some spring spacers then yes. Otherwise then you need to size what ever you have on right now and order accordingly. The length of this shock is equivalent to the stock one, so if you are using the stock then this should not be a problem.

Yes, but you will be losing those two inches in the drop if the shock. But that is the same thing for any shock you have on there with that much of alift. The best thing to do would be to relocate the anchor point for the install to get the full articulation of the shock. Other wise they will still work great, just a stiffer to a already stiff ride.

As long as the diameter of the mounting area in the chair is the same as shock, it should work just fine.

No problem, same space between the shock-absorber, not difference the motor 2.7 and 3.6 and 5.7 and 6.2 L, fit very well

No you dont. Because its not a dramatic drop. Now if you went with a 4 or a 6 inch drop I would recommend buying new shocks for the amount of drop you did. Like Bilstein or Eibach.

Yes. I used them with my rough country lift to level it out better and out another spacer up front to get 3.5 inches of lift. The bottom mount for the shock fits perfect but the top you will either need spacers to make them fit right or do like I did and just tighten down until snug. The mount up top ain't nothing but sheet metal so it will tighten down on the shock. I got about 1.5 inches of lift.

I wouldn't use it on a stock JK. I had it on with a 2.5" lift and any flex the shocks would come in contact with track bar mount. If I adjusted the shocks further then it would contact the track bad and drag link. Wouldn't recommend on anything less then 3".

These springs give about 2.5" all around. The front will give a little more. I recommend if you get the springs to order the shocks as well. The stock shock won't last long and the ride will be a little rough. Eventually you will have to change the shocks.

You will need to use the stock upper strut plate and bushings as the kit does not come with new ones. You also need to purchase a front differential drop kit to lower the drive axle angle so you don't blow out the boots if liftin it more than about 1.5 inches. As for the bumper and winch, the more you tighten the springs to raise ride height the tighter the ride gets, so they should support the weight but may be a stiff ride. Not a bad value for the money but definitely not a King or Fox shock!
