the shocks that came with it...procomp...do not extend unless i pull on them, is this alright, the ranchos i had for my explorer were tied down casue they had allot of pressure. also which way do i install the space, heavy end up??? the 3 inch lift is really a 1.5 inch spacer, correct?

 

That is normal for the shocks and yes heavy side up.

 

that was i suppose to get longer front struts? or are the stock length ones good (i bought new front ones already, they are sitting in the garage waiting to be installed)

 

You can use new ones but do not have to.

 

i already go tnew ones, but deidnt know if they were suppsoe to be different lengh
