well, i have been out mesuring at full flex and full droop without the shocks on and i will be able to run these shocks stock.

only have to add a 1/2" spacer to the bump stop. Full comresion on the stock springs is 14" and the ford shocks are 14" compressed. And they are 24.5" extended and the stock shocks are 18" extended.
I'm going to get about 3" of lift with areostar coils and coil spacers if needed. And a 3" ball joint spacer ofcourse.
YOU MUST GET THE 2WD SHOCKS 4WD's ARE TOO LONG!!
