the rough country kit i got came with shocks at a length of 26" extended and some 17" compressed or what not. that is the same front AND rear. thats standard for a 4" lift.
thats good enough on a short arm lift.

fraser is running 29" billsteins up front with those barpin eliminator things. he can drop a coil if he wants. rears are 28" for his, sitting at some 5.5" of lift or something like that.

now to just sell the rears for him...

see the key to this is he works at a gm dealer and they where a take off from a optimum inspection due to a tiny bit of seepage well they are rebuildable lol.... so free is good for anythign king
