Well, I can't get you pics, but I can tell you that the cataloging lists different front shocks for 2wd vs. 4wd.

I'm afraid that I have 4wd shocks on my 2wd truck.. I bought my drop kit on ebay which included 3 inch drop leafs and 2 inch drop coild already mounted to factory struts. I didn't think to check them before I handed them to my mechanic 6 months ago, lol

These are 2wd shocks on the truck. The coils are 2" ground force.
Compare these model #'s to your shocks.

your truck is 2wd right? should be an easy conversion to swap the coils from one set to the other, then you should have a set of 4x4 shocks, b.c i think the coil is the same, but the length of the shaft is the different.

Don't waste your money

Unless you really want them.

Check Ebay for a set of used 2wd front shocks. Boom.. done for under $50 TOPS

I still have my stock 2wd shocks in storage but I would love to have those roush shocks, it just sucks that it took me months to figure out why my front end rode like crap, I was sitting here thinking why the hell does my truck sit so high in the front with 2 inch drop coils and 31 inch tall tires

I know i know the list is piling up:

Repaint front bumper
buy 2 new rims
buy 2 new tires
front roush shocks
roush front swaybar
rear swaybar
replace $800 radar detector
rainbows up front
cough up $400ish for wire and accessories to finish sound system

the list never ends

Just put your drop coils on the 2wd shocks you have in storage, then sell the 4x4 shocks and your stock coils together as 4x4 set up. Then buy your whatever you need most, probably repaint the bumper.

Why didnt they fix it after it came out the wrong color? did i miss that post

Ok.. I can shorten that list a little there for ya. LOL
Take the idea of the new wheels and tires and throw them out the window.
The roush anything and throw that out the window. Roush is good stuff, but way over priced.. like banks stuff.

Buy some polyurethane bushing and end links for the front sway bar.
Swap out the shocks you already have and save your money for the repainted bumper. Radar detector? Just slow down a little bit and keep an eye out. Driving fast doesn't really get you there that much faster. You don't need anything rainbow unless you live in San francisco.

There.. I just saved you a ton of money and time. Quit being OCD.
