ok ill give some moreinfo. . . .

when i installed my 2" lift spacers in the front. i came to find that the shocks i had on there were were reaching max extension too easily. this might be because its an off road ram and the factory probally didnt use different shocks for the 2 inches of lift . but now that it had four inches of lift- it needed them, i ordered rough country shocks for 3-4 inches of lift and it was more like 7 inches of lift. installed them didnt work they where to long so ordered the next size down. PITA!!!!!!

so now i want to do the rear shocks. i have stock 2" lift plus im adding 2 1/2" add aleaves this weekend. i dont want to go through all that again. maybe someone knows how to findout the length without removing them to measure.

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think that monroe makes a shock that will fit your truck. You could have bought normal ones until you did the lift. What you should probablu look into using us the bilensteins 5100. There are differnt lenghts for differnt lifts. Just rember to add 2" to what ever you yourself have raised the truck.
