    When I get back to Missouri of thanksgiving break I want to finish my truck. I want to make sure I get the right shocks. Anyways my truck has four inch blocks and middle leaf taken out along with the frame c notched. With the front I have mighty max 2inch belltech lowering spings. I want to run the monomax shocks or the just a gas shocks. So when I order them should I order them for the year of my truck or a different year? I just want to make sure before I blow 200 bucks on shocks and them bottom out the day I put them on.... all help would be appreciated
    Thanks

    Measure the lift & drop ( extended & compassed) ,that is what you need.
    KYB'S are good , I have been running Doestech's for years now!! :cool:

    You guys are cracking me up.Imagine what the boys are thinking that don't understand.Just a heads up on the Toxics When I bought it I told them I got a two inch drop and it was chinerry but then I went to a three and the back was good but I dropped the front pretty low and the front was almost bottoming out so just be "pacific nai" when you tell them.
