I switched to a shorter shock. These have less than 2K miles on them. $45 shipped CONUS.

Will they fit 3" lowered springs. I'll take them if they do.

I think so. Here's the part # KYB 344068. You should probably do some research just to make sure.

Ok I'll get on the research right now. Keep me in line.

According to the Summit website it states that these are for stock height vehicles. Did you experience a problem with them and that's why you are going with a lower shock?

They worked fine until I lowered the front end more - 4". I'm pretty sure they are not stock height as ECE sells them with their dropped spring kits. I would take some measurements and compare them to the expanded and compressed length of the shock. Here's a picture. Let me know. They also come with a set of new upper shock studs.

Ignore the PM. If you could take some measurements I am extremely interested. What I have is 3" drop springs and plan to install drop spindles in the next few months to follow. I know that the spindles don't change anything with the shocks.

The compressed and extended measurements would be great. Thanks.

I installed a set of Porterbuilt shock relocators.

jbice70gmc · 12-23-2011, 08:25 PM

I'm going with the No Limit rears. Would be intersested in how these turn out, Have been watching your build thread.

shawno72 · 12-23-2011, 08:39 PM

Ok sorry for jumping the gun, I need a new set of lowered shocks badly, but I think these are going to be to tall. Thanks for being quick with the replies Rob. Have a Merry Christmas.

Tough to follow, but I think the end result is that they're still for sale. If that's the case, I'll take them. PM me the paypal info and we'll consider this post history.
