Re: Skyjacker Shocks, running 4 rears?

The Fronts: 14.5" Compressed/ 24 3/4" Expanded
The Rears: 17.3" Compressed/ 29 3/4" Expanded

The question is can I run rears on all 4's to keep the front flexin, and not hangin me short on flex?
Or do you guys think it will be ok?

What lift you are going to use will determin whether or not you want to use those shocks.  If you use askyjacker, superlift, Rancho, Tuff country, etc..   You should be able to use those shocks, however if you go with a Marlin , All pro , Alcan, or use your rear springs up front you may not want those shocks due to the limited travel.   

Those are fairly long shocks. Especialy the rears. The fronts are similar in lengths to a 9012 or 5012 rancho.

There's only one way to know. Flex your truck with no shocks, and MEASURE for yourself on both sides, front and rear. Boom. You now know if they'll bottom or top-out on you.

Those in reallity are actually pretty small, most guy's start woth a 14" travel shock and end go up from there. 

But exactly whta you said is true
