My truck has a 4" lift installed on it already. The shocks that are on the truck appear to be an off-road variant of some kind. While they aren't leaking yet, they aren't healthy by any means and I'd feel better replacing them before I get the truck on the road. Will a stock shock still work with the 4" lift, or am I going to have to look for a longer aftermarket shock?

They need to be longer than stock, the standard stock ones are WAY too short.

I went with Gabriels after reading about them on the Pirate and CK5 forums. Gas charged, heavy duty, and lifetime warranty. Affordable too. Been running them for 2 1/2 years with no problems. Paid $66.84 for all four with shipping.
