seriously you got over an inch of lift from these?

Yeah I did..I will change it to 1-1.25 rather than 1.25 to 1.50 but yes haha my shocks were pretty beat I guess. My truck almost looked leveled before. So, everyone with these shocks has a leveling kit with blocks except for me? Because mine really do squeak when I go over bumps, even potholes..I don't know why though. They perform nicely, they are just noisy as hell. I will double check tomorrow and make sure the spring isn't rubbing on anything!

Just put mine on a few weeks ago, it did lift the rear about an inch. No squeaks to mention, but it did find some rattles for me. Basically my exhaust needs to be readjusted, as I had just replaced the cat not too long ago.

Just waiting for the true test, pulling my boat/trailer (5000lbs). Hopefully no more bouncing and low squat.

i installed them, wow what a difference. hauling the race car is no problem now. now jumping railroad tracks is fun! also i swapped the dog bone stabilizers because one was cracked (cant help that i tow all winter long) so now i dont have that washboard feeling after i hit like a steel deck bridge or something like that. i have picks of the trailer hooked up, ill upload them later.


definitely worth the 96$ from amazon for both.
