Needing part numbers for aftermarket shocks with a 2 1/2inch front shackle lift from Rough Country. I would be open to any name brand such as Bilstein, KYB. etc.
I will also need the brake line extension parts or anything else you can think of. I know that there are posts describing this but I have become a bit confused as to what exactly I need so please explain to me the parts I need as if I am an idiot (I am) when it comes to this suspension mod. I would like to have this installed this week if possible so your help is greatly needed.

Go on the KYB web site and there is a chart with all the part numbers and shock specs. they will even break down the type of mount the shock has. There are several that will work for you if you take the time to look., it's very handy.

You won't find anything for Mahindra listed, You need to measure your stock shocks compressed and extended all the way and use there chart to find ones that are going to be 2"or a little more longer. You also need to look at the compressed length also. I have looked at the chart awhile back and there are several that will work for you. Will put KYB's on when I replace the stock shocks.

I understand I was hoping not to have to remove shocks prior to having a lift installed. I am having a shop do this for me and wanted to have all the parts ready for them. My roxor is 2 hours from my house on our property and I only get to spend a couple of days up there and did not want to turn it into a 4 week process.

The easiest way to get shocks and brake lines w/o research is from OTR Fabrication.

I have a 2018 LE with the winch and it was setting low in the front as most do. I put a ADD A LEAF on the front and raised it 2" back up to stock height, is this what you are doing? or going 2 1/2" over stock? In my case the stock shock was just fine

If I read it right the $299 kit from rough country comes with longer front shackles and a drop bracket for the rear spring. Also has relocation brackets for your stock shock and longer brake lines. You will need nothing.

Was hoping to upgrade my shocks, but thanks for looking at the kit and letting me know some of the things I will not need.

Just put the OTR springs on mine this morning. These are the shocks they use.

That said I don’t think you’ll gain much if anything since your using the same stock springs. Your springs are relocated. So what you’ll be doing is ditching the relocation brackets in exchange for longer shocks. Flex wise it’s probably a draw.

Wanted to ask where you got that piece in the rear of ur rollcage it’s says RC in red ? Does it help with the rain wind or just look cool? I put a wood piece there just for storage under my carport but would like something permanent

It’s a rough country roof shade for jeep they accidentally had it listed as a Roxor accessory in their catalog I ordered it with lift kit but it didn’t fit when I called customer support they refunded me and told me I could keep it ; so I took it to a Freind with sewing machine and we added straps to make it fit blocks the sun and u can still see thru it it might block a percentage of rain mostly it just looks cool
