I have a ground force 2/3 drop. The rear shocks are always letting it bottom out. I was wondering if I could buy shock extenders and use my stock shocks?

Well I knew you could lol. But I didn't know of you had to have any other parts than the extenders. And if it will make it set any higher

just get the djm shocks will ride great and lifetime warranty and they are shorter.

What you need to do is measure the truck in rear from eye/eye on the shock at ride height then i can dial in the perfect shock for you.

your stock shocks are making it bottom out. you need different shocks your better off getting the shorter djm shocks and only costs a few dollars more.

Is check the rear bumpstop &/or bumpstop bracket to see if your buttoning out of the frame & not bottoming out the shock. I think your problem is with something else bottoming out...
