[QUOTE="ogdobber, post: 1360167, member: 22629"] yet...like i said, time will tell. I guarantee it 3/8 of an inch. ever heard of axel wrap? that rear end is very dynamic, especially with the stock leafs. good news is that will only destroy the shock mount and/or the shock itself the proper way to tell how much room is on the rear is to put a clip on the G1 rear shock shaft (in place of a o-ring to see max movement) and hammer it. If you are left with 2 inches of unused shock travel, then you can safely put in a 2 inch longer shock. Do you think the ford engineers left that much on the table? They left 0 on the front... I'm not totally against the rears, just skeptical. But for street? send it. Fronts on the other hand, no way without a limit strap, hat mod or internal shim and then you still loose travel. 1.5 inches at the shock, how much is that at the tire? 3+ inches? no thank you [/QUOTE]
