Shock height question???
Lookn around for new shocks......i have an 04 4x4 with a leveling kit and an add a leaf. Didnt have any problems(that i knew of) with running the factory length shocks but some different folks i talked to when getting prices said that running factory size shocks will over extend and cause damage. They said i need a shock for a truck with 2" of lift but i cant find anybody who makes them. Anybody have anything to say about running factory length in my situation or a suggestion of where to get shocks for a 2" lift?
thanks

WHoever you were talking to was wrong, or doesn't understand leveling kits. They put a spacer on top of the shock, pushing the suspension down (in a way) and allowing for more clearence, and larger tires. The shock stays the same height. Spacer goes on top.
Make sense ? Stock shocks are fine, or you could do the Bilstein's for a smoother ride, and adjust them up an additional 2" and lose the spacer.
(if im not clear, let me know)
