Default Summit adjustable shocks for front and rear

Did a search on this and couldn't really find much. Looking at SUM-G7600 for fronts and SUM-G7703 for rear. They look like they would fit but I'm not 100% for certain. Anyone ever tried these before? Any modification done to make them fit or did they just go in place?



edit: also, would pulling the front sway bar help the front end come up?

I've got the factory shocks on it right now. I weigh less than 150 pounds and if I sit on the tailgate, it bottoms out. needs new shocks bad. Calvert adjustables?

Sounds like those are perfect to me. Get your bars on and see how it does

I may get the sway off before I head out to AK for the summer.. would removing that middle leaf cause it to to sit too low in the rear with the current drop on it?

I would advise against pulling leafs. It causes some good wheel hop. Put some schakles in if you don't already have some.

If you have lowering shackles, removing a leaf will make it sit too low unless you cnotch it. I use stock shackles and hangers with the middle leaf removed. And bars of course.
