I have them but since i have bags, i use a completely different shock than you. sorry

Yes they do work and yes they can handle the weight. If you really want i coould get the model number for you. i guess they could work, but you need to change the ends of the shock to fit into the factory holes

Yeah thoes part numbers would be great. How did you have to change the shocks to get them to bolt up? Im putting a 2"4" drop do I need a specific hight shock? How does a bag setup handle? I found a prefabed 4 link bag setup for anyone intrested.....http://www.maxhydraulics.com/vspecific.html

I did not have to change the shocks, i was saying you would have to or get them with the different ends on them.

sorry i was thinking you were gonna get the 4/6 drop, my shocks would definately be too short for you. ill get the part numbers for you anyways.


The bags handle fairly well, if i had 4 way controls, the truck would handle a lot better but its still better than stock.

I got my bag setup from www.ridetech.com

What did you have to do on pertaining the shock ends to get them to match up? Are your shocks electronicaly controled or just 12 way adjustable?
