make sure you arnt getting shocks that are collapsed longer than what you can take (check out those collapsed/extended vs stock) and you need your exact lift (probably not 4 inches)

Not to be rude , but man them shocks suck . Had them on a old jeep , thought what the heck 30 bucks no biggy .... worse ride than the oem ones that were on the jeep and the oem ones were blown . In a matter of 2 months they were rusted and the boots fell off allowing the shock to chip .

That is a foreign made shock they put a fancy sticker on . its is the same lower end shock that pro comp has and its the same shock as the ruff country .... they are all the same shock just different stickers .

Your money , but you wont be happy . Save up and get some good shocks like a bilstein ... unless you dont care how they ride or last .

I have the Rancho RS9000X on mine. The work well with the torsion bar crank, they don't top out like the stockers did. They felt good when I had 33x12.50 Mickey Thompsons. But with the new Nittos, I don't know if the tires are heavier or what, but the ride isn't what i would call great anymore. It's not bad but quite choppy. At about 4 years old, i had to replace the front two under warranty (no cost to me) because they started leaking and front end bounced like a basketball. I have had the replacements for about 2 years, so i'm wondering if they're starting to fail too. I like the adjustability though, so switching to something else would be a bummer.

It doesn't give much of a description on them but looking at your truck, I would say they WILL NOT work!!

There listing they work for an SRT-10! ... That's 2 wheel drive.

IMO, you want something a little stronger then those and something for a lifted truck. Skyjacker of not ... $28??? ... sounds pretty cheap to me, I certainly wouldn't buy them.
