Yeah, but the kit says it relocates the shock position. This would give it different leverage. Plus it says "15" of wheel travel" That is different than shock travel. I am not a huge suspension buff, so I could be wrong.....

Overall the kit looks interesting. now someone needs to step up! We should try asking about this on GMFULLSIZE, they have a bigger lifted truck crowd.

No increase in wheel travel, they could put the shock wherever they wanted to, it'd still be the same. Rockcrawler supposedly took that kit off the market in order to build a better one, who knows. Rockcrawler =

Anyone have a link to the Rancho and Skyjacker kits. I will add that I won't be doing any offroading. I want it for the sole purpose of looks.
