Default Fox Shock for 5" RC Lift???

What shock would I need for the rear of my 1500 Z71 with the lift? All I am finding is 0-1" on the Fox website. RC uses a 3" block in the rear to lift. Is the 0-1" what I need to get?

I would order shocks for a 99-06 NBS 4wd. They are an inch longer from factory, and they come with 0-1" lift. I run NBS Bilstein 5100 0-1" rear shocks with 2" blocks. They fit perfect, and can be used with a 3" block.

Get under the truck and measure from bolt hole to bolt hole of the shock and see how long they need to be at ride height and then you can figure out what ones you need to order.

I got mine from Down South Motorsports

I measured from center to center of the bushings compressed on the RCX shocks and got almost 20" on the money. So I went with the closest compressed length to that. It's a universal set from Fox but it matches up to what RCX provides. Hopefully they will work out. I can return them if they dont.

Thanks for yalls help

That sounds like an awesome setup dude. I'm torn between leveling my 09 Sierra ECSB with a 3" CCM/1.25" RC BL, and/or just ordering the 5" RC. I've used RC for a couple of trucks now and really like their stuff. My goal is to run 275/65's on my factory 20's.

Do you have any pics with your truck lifted? I'd love to see it.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did the Fox shocks set you back?
