The ride is great compared to the stockers. They do a much better job dampening and take out a lot of the body roll. They make it ride like a truck should IMO. They are firm, but take hits with ease.

As far as I can tell the rear shocks aren't adjustable, I think the 0-1" rating means that the shock fits a truck that has a rear lift up to 1" from stock, like an AAL.

You will definitely need a front end alignment after leveling the truck. The toe will need to be adjusted slightly.

I'll try and post some pics when I get a chance. I'm still kinda new to this site, so I'll have to figure out how.

Yeah I had mine aligned after and the toe was slightly off. It seems more solid of a ride and the rearend doesn't jiggle??? when you hit bumps.

Here is the shock installed. You can just make out the RCD sticker at the bottom of the shock.


Plenty of clearance
