Rear OME shock stud broke...

[JLS]

So I was changing out my rear 763 springs for the 781 springs and my first problem, broke the upper shock mount. Called Will and ordered two just in case I broke the other side, which I did. The first shock came off with some difficulty but did come off in one piece. The other, snapped the lower stud on the shock itself. So my question is, will Stock Shocks work for the time being or do I need to replace the N44's with like kind or are the N44's same stroke as the stock shocks?

TIA,
Jeremy

Assuming that you removed the swaybar from the rear, the OEM shocks won't last long with the lift if you take it offroad and flex the suspension. I had to run them OEM shocks temporarily and they didn't last a week.

Thanks Mike,

I guess I am off to buy the new ones from John and Ho...
