Then for others I would suggest making sure you can get the ones with the 1" option. I wish I had this because in the future if I get a rize lift it would be nice to have the 1" setting in case I was to get slight rubbing on 37's. I don't know if I will ever even get the rize lift, but it would be nice to have this option if I did and needed it.

Jim,

If you bought them from Top Gun Customz that would explain it. The shocks that TG sells were designed for the RCD lift and only have the 0 or 2" setting. if you had bought them from anywhere else, they would have had all 3 positions. There's a long post about this if you search for it. I think the valving is the same, they're just missing one of the height settings.

Thanks SKRWZ's for the idea.

I used on mine POR15 clearcoat called Glisten PC once it hardens its pretty tough http://www.por15.com/prodinfo.asp?grp=GPC&dept=6

and i just cleaned my shocks off from the winter salt and crap and they look great still
