Well, FINALLY got my Rear shocks!!! lol.. The stock ones are pretty much WAY over-extended and are shot. So, out with the old, in with the new!

Nice. Yea, when I just put my new shocks on 2 weeks ago, it raised up a bit, not a lot, but some.

Hey...so is it your shocks being completely extended and making the back of your truick squat so much? Is there even those superlift blocks installed back there? Looking at your side view pics again....the rear end looks very similar to mine when I was just bodylifted on 35's.

shocks alone wont do anything to your ride height.

oh, and no offense, but those shocks suck. I have them (came with my lift) and they are horrid. should have put the $60 towards something decent. better than the too short stock ones i guess though.
