So... you installed either a taller coil spring set or coil spring spacers to the rear of your vehicle to lift it. You take a step back to look at your handy-work on your awesome ride and it's looking great. Now it's time to take her out for a little test drive. You hop in, start her up, put her in gear and drive out the driveway. You go over the little hump where the driveway meets the road and as the car jounces you hear a "clunk". You think, "What the heck was that?". That, my friend, is the shock over extending and topping out. Any lift that is larger than 2" can extend the shock to the end of its travel, hit its limit and possibly damage the shock. This is where the McBay Performance shock extenders come in to help.
Once installed, shock extenders help keep the shock at it's proper travel starting point and keep the shock from topping out. It's also much less expensive and a lot easier than having to find longer shocks. Also, your vehicle will keep the same ride instead of guessing with a different longer shock setup
McBay Performance rear shock extenders are designed to fit perfectly at the end of most shocks.Rear "T" End Style Shock Extender
They call this a "T" end, well, because of the "T" style mounting bracket at the top of the shock (see photo above). This style extender fits most rear shocks on 1960's through 1990's GM rear wheel drive cars ranging from the 60's Chevy Nova II to the 90's Buick Roadmaster. These shock extenders come in 2" (SE-200) and 3" (SE-300) long sets and are a perfect addition to our 2" or 3" rear coil spring spacer lift kits. Our rear shock extenders are made with super strong 6061-T6 billet aluminum and anodized for a long life. They also come with new Grade 5 hardware and everything is 100% Made in USA.
