Yea the 2.0 rr fox. Not totally sure of the rear yet bit leaning on the 5150 billies I got the sliders on and pics are on beef tacos slider page he's got on tw

For the rear, go get the shackle flip from armortech then some 1" xj shackles the you should be good to go with 12" shocks and much more travel.

What kind of extra lift will that give me tho as I do load my street bike in the truck more times then I should and I'm already worried w the 2 in aal that I wont have the brake over angle onthe street bike to clear the tail gate. And are u still talking about he 5150 in a 12 in travel

If i'm thinking right you shouldn't really gain any lift out back outside the AAL, I'm not sure about the XJ shackle, may work just fine with the factory one. Yes I'm talking about 12" travel shocks brand shouldn't really matter.

whats the benefit of running the xj shackle? and i think brand would matter as the compression length and full extension length vary on a 12" from brand to brand. not much but i figure its in there

XJ shackle is typically used with aftermarket springs because they are typically longer it's effects on stock springs (even with AAL) are really unknown. As far as the extended/compressed lengths they are all just about the same from brand to brand most big names less than half an inch different I don't think you'll be able to use the entire 12" with factory mounts but it should be damn close It's one of those things that you are going to have to trial and error best thing to do would be to get the shackle flip and measure the mounts at full droop and full compression then buy your shock accordingly.
