You pretty much have to measure your compressed shock length with the springs off and axle hitting the bump stops. Then you get the longest shock with that compressed length.
The shock was way too short that 2" lift came out to almost 7" in the back. Working on that. Yes sir,I need new shocks and I do know how to compute there length. Thank you!!
