i agree on shorter shocks.......and this is why you need them. after you lower the truck and leave the stock shocks on, they are compressed and their damping abilities are almost zero. in other words, the shock is almost to the end of it's travel. shortened shocks are built to compensate for this and firm up the ride through firmer damping. good luck
