I have the HD shocks on mine and I like them. The eliminated most of the automatic lane changing when you hit a bump in the road!! Mine is a 2wd.

Thanks for all the replys and pics, wish a few would chime in with my exact application, I just don't want to do something that makes the ride worse. Roads are terrible up here.

No, The boot slipped off, That pic was done the day of the install. The boot has been refitted, if you will. It looks like a serious angle, but I go over a rr crossing thats a serious lift. Off of the road. i don't bottom out or top out either. So So far I'm good haven't really heard of a bad experience with these shocks. Personally, It's amazing how that little snap ring can hold so much force enacted upon it. I truly am amazed!!

not sure I understand your question (contractors Hemi) we have all told you they are great shocks. My buddy has the bags in the back as well and he loves his set up with the leveling shocks. Don't know any more info you could ask for unless you looking for someone to put them on for you and taking it for a ride to post how it rides. If you are looking for some other info then state what you are looking for or this is a dead thread. Sorry but it is silly to keep getting replies on how many people like these. You have two choices if you want leveling shocks Bilstein or Rancho, Rancho's are stiffer but you have the option to adjust the damper on the shocks to your particular ride condition and they are more expensive by like 125 bucks.. Any Bilstein shock Yellow, leveling or other you place in the front will be a huge improvement over the stock ones. If you want stiff buy a serious off road shock, if you want comfort go with a leveling or yellow bilsteins and then you get a lifetime warranty with them also.
