Default fabtech lift, wrong shocks?/??

I have 6'' fabtech lift with 3" body and 35's. I took the truck to the sand dunes and snapped both front shock bolts on the bottom a arm.??????(nothing really major offroad more just climbing hills and whatnot) I believe these shocks are incorrect. they are fully extended when i reinstalled them and realize these cant be correct. What are some other options of shocks i can go with i cant seem to find anything??? something like fox or anything, just have a hard time finding ones that have the threaded shaft on top..... i have an 03 1500 crew cab 4X4

Are they the ones that came with the kit? Have you called Fabtech yet?

Gotta love Silver Lake Sand Dunes!


Thats a bunch of bs if those are the shocks that Fabtech sent with the kit. I would just upgrade to some correct length Bilsteins and be done with it.

Cycle the suspension without the shocks and measure the extended and collapsed lengths, then call and order them. Again, I recommend Bilsteins.
