ya i know i dont need them, but i have cheapo $70 a pair extended length shocks in the rear. figured i buy the lc shocks and maybe get a little better ride and possibly a little more droop. the shocks also havta be unbolted at the bottom to get the new springs in & out easily, so im half way there. i also dont have any money to wheel these days so im not super ambitious to do anything to my truck recently.......dam tool addictions
