I know this has been asked many times before, but I dont think many people gave input. Can you all list your extended and collapsed shock measurements, how much your truck was lowered, and what shocks (part #, model) you bought. Im trying to get measurements so I can buy the right ones.
This could be a good FAQ thread for people with lowered trucks

Use your stock shocks on a 1' drop spring, spindles do not effect shocks.
