Wingnut,
My price was a bit over 3 grand. The lift was from Fabtech. They have a web site fabtechmotorsports.They are more geared to 4x2's though, and I believe you have a 4x.
Is your username after Kris Draper?
Thought I might have found another Wing fan.

Jackal-
I'm not sure what the technical term is, but it's when the shock hit's full extension that the problem occurs.The shock shaft is not long enough aka:doesn't have enough travel.The Bilsteins are direct stock replacement and have the same amount of travel as the stock shock (13.76).

Woody,
Acutally we call a friend of mine 'wingnut' cause he has some big freaken ears!
I use the monicker online cause I think it's catchy.
I chose 33, cause that's the State Route I live close to.
Nothing very scientific, it just makes me laugh!

o.k., this is my last post for this topic I promise!! It turns out that the guys at the alignment shop had over turned the torsion bar adjusters, resulting in the problem I was having.I took matters in my own hand last night and adjusted them myself. I managed to get them turned up to the point just before the shock starts to run out of travel. I would make small adjustments..because their was no starting point because of the already made changes from stock postion (plus the alignment shop never took starting measurements)and drive over curbs in my neighborhood until I found the ideal position. What a pain, but I did find out they were left uneven from the alignment shop.. what a bunch of bozos! Now we are level and very happy... but if my Manik side steps came in, all would be Utopia
