[QUOTE="AndysLog, post: 1237354, member: 22239"] the shock is like 3-4" longer lol. is that a serious question? im not saying the guys running to the store, and weekend overlanding may be fine. but the shock simply does not properly fit and work as is intended on a stock truck. the valving is not in the right spot for where the suspension rests since you have such a large difference in sizing. its just my opinion though i mean if you like it and it works for you then run it. i however think its not a proper setup and not something guys should look at as a "good" option when switching from 2.5 to 3.0. UNLESS- either lifted or relocating the upper shock mounts up front. and i guess the rear is already pretty low on the bottom, so you would need to relocate your mounts up top on as well. OR maybe a 2-3" lift all around might do it a little better? bigger longer shocks only work better when its actually proper. you can mount shocks on a lot of different things, doesnt mean its as good as it can be or even better than before.
