Thanks! DO IT! But first read this:

Finally got the ride quality I've been looking for...here are the specs on my '08 crew cab at 4/6:

-coil relocators
-spindles
-shorter sway bar end links
-flip kit with hanger at 6"
-helper bags
-shock relocators
-Monroe 911258 shocks

I've been through 4 different kinds of "drop shocks" (except belltech SP's) and was disappointed every time. A guy on another forum said he ran a monroe shock with success but nobody really picked up on it, I couldn't find anybody else that did the same. So I checked out the specs on them and ordered Monroe p/n 911258:

These are a light suv shock with the right eye mounts, the only problem is that the bushing sleeves are 1/2" I.D. and the stock bolts are 14mm. I used my impact to run a spare 14mm bolt through each sleeve to make sure they would go (they're rolled from flat stock so there is a split in the sleeve allowing the expansion). It took a little force and once the threads grabbed, the stock bolts went through no problem. I wouldn't attempt this without an impact though!

So the ride is incredibly close to stock. No doubt the lower shock relocators help too but I give them 90% of the credit. I am so happy that I found these, I was starting to regret lowering this truck in a bad way. If you're at 4/6 or 4/7 on NNBS, with the addition of the relocators these are a great fit and awesome ride.

Truck looks great! I just bought an 07 GMC crewcab and want to go 3/5 will the set up be the same. Ride quality is a must for me also.
