Yep, standard length shocks. It is a 4" drop in the rear. I run about 8 psi when unloaded. I did put relocater/extenders on it also. But that was just to give the shock a little more room to travel under load. They didn't raise or lower the 4" drop any. With a 4" and no extenders, it will still be ok, you will hit the bumpstops before the shocks bottom out. Whatever you do, I would reccommend some pancake bumpstops if you go 4" in the back rather than just removing them all the way or cutting them if you like to save all the original parts like me.

Ahh, good
I've already got the DJM 2/4 drop on the truck. I'm thinking i need to raise the rear a bit, there's 2 sets of holes in the shakles for the drop. I'm on the lowest setting now, and i ride the bump stops all the time when i tow. kinda funny looking, and hard to drink my coffee in the morning on the way to the track <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> little bouncy <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
already have the urethane pancake style stops.
I'll give the air shocks a shot.
thanks

I forgt to mention, if you have an Autozone up that way, they have the Gabriel brand with a lifetime warranty. I did blow one out once, but hell, I changed them in about 20 minutes. I was even out of town with the trailer when it happen. They should be in the $80 range.
