Anybody had any experience with shock extension on the rear. The help get the tire out, but look like they leave the shock stem as a brittle weak point.

Thanks

Here is a photo with extensions. I think I will go ahead and get the Gaberials

I had extensions on mine at first because I could not get the wheels off.I think the ones specified by most companies are too short on extension.The Gabriels work great even though mine is lowered 2 inches they still heve travel room on compression.As I mentioned I gave mine a light sanding and sprayed Rustoleom Gloss black and they look stock.I think they come white.Best part is they are well priced i think.Likely because there is low demand for the original application(79 Ford F250).
