i ended up removing those shocks because of people here and a trusted mechanic friend that told me that our shock mounts were not designed to handle that kind of added pressures and weight. I have since installed the readylift 3" rear blocks to get the rake i wanted back. i think there's a pic it's the first, second or third pic with the new blocks installed.

Gotta love the silver. I was considering getting an add a leaf to get back a little bit of the factory rake until I ran across your thread on the shocks. How much lift did you get after installing them and did it stay that way or settle back down?
