Can you explain? I'm not sure what the problem is with the Rockstars. I just ordered the Enforcer with the 331/332s so I want to make sure I know all the ins and outs.

The rockstars raise the shock mount up 1.5". You will be fine with those ranchos you ordered. The extra 1.5" will not be enough to unseat the coil

Do you think the longer shock will bottom out with the rockstars? That was my main issue. Haven't had a chance to measure to see how much is left.

That's what I was wondering as well.

Nope. They way to make sure that they will not is to measure the distance you have between your bumpstops then measure the amount of exposed shock. If your bumpstop gap is 3" and your exposed shock length is 5" for example your golden. If your exposed shock is less than 4.5" then you may bottom it out before you hit your bumpstop

I think it will be damn close. Im running the 330 w 3" bumps and have about 1/2" of shock shaft showing at full stuff with the rock stars mounted. Im sure you can get them to work by adding bump, but then your losing the wheel travel you just gained with the rock stars right?

Will do. I'm really hoping it will work. May take a few day to get with Dirtfoot. But as soon as I know for sure. I'll post it up

You really wouldn't be loosing travel because they don't help with up travel, they help more with down travel.

They do only add down travel yes. But by having to add bump to go up in shock length, your still negating any gain in overall wheel travel i would think. I guess i just dont see where the benefit of switching shocks is if you cant take advantage of the full shock stroke, especially if you already own 330 ranchos.

Update : just measured to see if the rockstars would fit on the 3" enforcer with rancho 9k shocks (332).
The answer is NO. At least not with Dirtfoots setup.
We have determined that the combination of the rancho 332 and the rockstars will unseat the springs at full droop and bottom out the shock at full stuff.
With shock attached at full droop. Rear spring is still tight. We Removed the shock from bottom mount to gain the additional 2" that the rockstars will provide and noticed that the spring becomes loose after only 1".
There was only 1.5" of remaining up travel in the shock at full stuff.
So in my opinion the best 3" enforcer and rancho 9k combination is the front 331 and rear 330 with the rockstars.

We asked the same question when installing mine. This guy replied with pictures.

At first I did not add the big loose zip tie, but later found a rub spot on one of my speed sensor wires, so I added the last zip tie to each side.

Thanks! I was trying to figure out I should run them back down below the front coils where that stock metal bracket held them in place or not.
