Id like to know how these work as well compared to bilsteins..edelbrock ias...etc. They would be strictly for street use.

I know every truck is different but that shock is nowhere near a bolt-in, and probably won't work at all with stock springs. It needs a minimum 2" drop spring, different upper bushings and a different t-bar lower mount.

I know what the advertisement reads. But call speedeng and ask them where they got that data. I did, and the guy on the phone said "well, we have personally never tried to fit them up. A customer just told us they would work."

This is the shock that I am running on the front of my 2wd 06 with 2" DJM springs and a Belltech 2" spindle. I had to double stack the upper bushing below the spring perch to gain a little extension but it really is still too short. After the first time out without doing this it ripped the top bushing through the spring perch on one side.

IDK, maybe my truck is different.
