Default Double Adjustable Shocks

Anyone know of anything for 2014? All I can find is Rancho 9000 Struts and I guess they are only single adjustable. I thought I would order some and get my 60' better before I pulley down. Want to do it immediately.

are you looking for rear shocks? if so you can just measure from the center mounting point of each bolt and get the extended and collapsed lengths and then call somewhere like viking or qa1 and they can find something for you. As far as front struts i dont think youll find anything unless you switch to a coilover setup

Yeah just the fronts. They hit full extension when I leave even at idle. I would love to get up on the converter!

if you have the coin i would go coil overs. i think they sell an upper mount that will bolt in. you would probably have to scale the truck to get the front weight so you could order springs to get you the ride height/quality you were looking for. then it would be measuring for shock length from there

Put a 1in spacer on the upper stude mount to gain an extra in of travel. Seems to be working just fine. Basicalky the spacer goes in the stud then the poly/rubber bushings go on top of that. Simple and cheap.

If I cant find something stiffer I guess as a last resort maybe? Wish it didn't pull up so hard.

Oh you have struts. Since your 4wd should you be looking into travel limiters?
