Installed D25's and Rancho 9000x's to short, now how...

...do I correct this?

I could make new shock towers but that would be a pain. I have looked all over the place for fine thread couplers to extend the shock studs but can't fine them. I could also cut and weld and extension to the stud voiding the warranty of course.

Is there a better method?

Maybe I am stating the obvious but how about buying shocks in the proper length and selling the current ones that you are running?

Yes, selling them is an option and I didn't list it because it's obvious. I wanted to see if there is an alternate solution first.

How's it going Michael?

I saw a post on TDR where you guy's are talking about meeting on a set day of the month. I will probably be able to swing by and visit at the next meeting.

I have the welder and other tools to fabricate the towers or to lengthen the shock studs but I will probably just buy the longer shocks.
