my trailgear 3in springs

so after wheeling my truck a few times iam starting to fix all the little things wrong with it. one think iam noticeing is that my front 3in trailgear springs might be maxing out my 12in 5125s. i know i need to take them off and measure but was wondering what you guys thought do you think the 3in springs and 5in shackles could max out those shocks looking at going with fox 12in body shocks there 31.10 ext length and the 5125s are 29.7. i would lose about 1in of up travel but about 1.5in of down travel.would that be worth it? i only use it for rock crawling.

They are or they are not.

It really depends on how you mounted the shocks and without pics or measurements, my guess is no they are not.

Go to a lumber yard with outdoor Forklifts and ask one of the kids to flex it out for you. I would have when I worked for Menard's if anyone had ever asked.

Basically Flex it out with No shocks hooked up and measure mount to mount and see if it is or not.
