This was posted a while ago. But never here. These were hard to get, and seems even harder now. i lucked out at moe's performance. I leveled my truck and she is sitting pretty. I know I'm not technically lifted and these shocks are expressly for the o6-o8 crowd. But this is also for the google crowd. thanks guys!!

Yes. They have 4 settings , if you look close at the base, you'll see rings in the stem. There is a small o-ring that snaps on that ring gives you the settings. I maxed at 2 inches. The first being stock rake , then progressively lifting by close too half inch increments after that. you can also go higher with a shock tower plate. But I'm leaving her ass end alone so there was no need for going higher.

I doubt Moe's stocks them............probably got it from his distributor. I have read that MANY places suddenly got stock on these.

Looks great though rocket!

(had them) This was back in april. dt had a few on there that could't find them without a waiting list. I admit I was probably lucky too score them. Shock warehouse had em cheaper but I was put on a waiting list. cancelled that order and went with moe's had 'em in a week's time. On a side note, when I got the truck it had a ****** ride. felt like a frigging boat. Since the install the ride is like night and day. the oem shocks are ****. These are coil over btw. and you need a spring compressor too install. Not a driveway job imo. If you have a work bench and a good vice you 'll have a better time of it than I had.

I've had this mod now for at least three month's. Rides like a new truck. stiff but smooth at the same time. The truck has no boaty feeling whatsoever. The oem's had that sailing feeling , but these were much worth it. 2 inch level and new lifetime shocks. How can you refuse?? i have easily 2200 miles, went to ohio with these shocks. not a problem. Curiously I have no trerad wear issue's yet, seeing as it is not aligned since the install. hmmm???

Cool...thanks for the info. Curious, why did you not do the Bilsteins on all 4 corners?
