Thanks for the link on the ones for lifted ride !!!
the site list 2
94-01 Ram 1500 - 4WD - Excludes MegaCab - Front Lift: 5-6 inches / Rear Lift: 4 inches
and
94-01 Ram 1500 - 4WD - Excludes MegaCab - Front Lift: 3 inches / Rear Lift: 0-1 inches
Compression bump stop on chassis may need to be modified to prevent damage to the shock absorber. (Note # L2)
hmm

For my truck,, All I know about my lift is that its more than 1 and less than 4 inches .

The rear all I can see is the 3 inch spacers.
front I see nothing, but it is obviously lifted , and NO way 5 inches.

Why dont they just say "for 1500 4x4 with factory off road pack"" _____________

So..,,

2 24-185776
2 24-185783

In hand .. Putting on tomorrow,.,
I took one out of the box and held it up next to the ones on my truck .
These are WAY longer. I would say 3 or 4 inches ...
Are they going to squish up when installed?

I dont see how they could fit,, but I called to make sure before I ordered.
The man claims they will,

Are they nitrogen charged? Do they have the little strap on them to keep them compressed?

Shocks can shrink quite a bit. (they can grow too......)
