Title: Bar pin eliminators/shock extenders
Post by: Krawler00 on June 13, 2008, 02:26:07 PM
Okay, got the 1.75" rear coil spacers in today. Problem is my DT shocks are not going to be long enough to let the rear fully flex out... or atleast the 1.75" gain. Kinda thought the shocks had more in them since the description was for 3.5"-5.5" of lift. Pretty big scale. Anyway, I was thinking about getting some bar pin eliminators/shock extendors to gain a little back and get rid of the bar pin. I already shaved my spring perches in the back and bought the DT shocks because you can mount them upside down so I am just trying to gain a little shock length back. Anybody know how high the mounts come up. I am guessing an inch or so. I have looked online and can not find a definite answer. Here is what I will be ordering soon. I don't want to buy new shocks! Just want all the flex I can get.

Hey man I have a set of those you can have if you want them!  I had a Rocky-Road BB on my Jeep but bought longer Pro Comp shocks instead of using the Bar Pin Eliminators.  They are in brand new as I never even installed them.  I just have to find them in my garage.  Let me know if you're interested!

The JKS Bar Pin Elimantors raise the shock up 0.4".

And please don't buy from Rocky Road, they are truly horrible company.

You got a pick of what you have so I can compare what I am looking at? I am going to go with these unless you have the same!

These raise it by 1", or so it says. Then I am only out .75" of travel. I can live with that!

Their website is full or lies and they are horrible at shipping.

Just take a look at these people's opinions:

Yea, if you look at their pictures for their XJ and WJ lift, the pictures are of different companies lift that are much higher in lift.

Also, they don't sell complete kits, at least for the Grands.

It's not that their stuff is bad quality, just bad business practices.

Sorry I took so long to get back to you!  I don't have a pick of them but they are different than the Teraflex BPE's.  The one's I have are the exact same as the first link you posted for Rocky Road -             http://rocky-road.com/jeepbpe.html .   I found them this weekend in my toolbox and they are in perfect condition with all the hardware they came with.  They're still yours for the taking if you want them!

Krawler is having some fabbed up so these are yours if you want them!  Lemme know if/where you want to meet up to get these.  I live very close to the intersection of Hwy's 78 & 124 in Snellville.  I believe you live in Flowery Branch so if you know of a good central meeting point we could arrange that.

Post by: jeepinjon on June 17, 2008, 03:24:54 PM
If i'm correct, I should be in the Suwanee area on Wednesday night around 6 or 6:30 and on Thursday night I should be at the Mall of GA somewhere around 7 or 7:30.  Plans could change but I would of course let you know in advance.
