So, I have realized that my shocks I have are MUCH longer than most people have for their trucks with moderate lifts... Thought I would get the word out.

I did some research, the shocks I got are 15.25" compressed and 25.25" extended, Rancho p/n RSX 17327, they are PERFECT for a 1.5" HD Downey setup. Stock is 13.0" and 20.75", so these shocks are 4.5" longer. You will, however, need to trim your gas tank skid plate and/or get the panhard bar drop. Also, the bushings are too small, so you need to drill them out with a 5/8 drill bit (the shocks are actually for a 3.5" lifted Wrangler). I have a significant amount of flex in the rear with these shocks, probably about 6" more than stock at the wheel.

My front shocks are 10.00" compressed, and 14.75" extended, Rancho p/n RSX 17010. They are just a little longer than stock (1.375"), but almost the same compressed. Stock is 9.375" and 13.375". These shocks have worked great with the BJ spacers and low-profile polyurethane bump stops.

Anyway, now you know.
