    great find man. I'm thinking about these myself. I love the handling with the OEMs but man, I'm not going offroad much these days (even have street tires on now) and the streets downtown are just plain backbreaking with the OEMs. I'd love the option of adjusting the ride a little for longer trips as well.

    Ugh. I'm so torn.

    Gussie, shocks will not cause a vehicle to be lower or higher. They are dampers. Suspension hieght will only change with spring change or adjusting torsion bars ...did you by chance change tires at the same time as your shocks?

    I didn't change tires along wih the shocks,but i have aftermarket tires & rims.

    I'm not 100% sure,but to me the height went down a little & my brother-in-law also told me the same thing.

    Also the ranchos 5000 series are shorter in lenght then the OEM

    Anyways i can't certainly prove it.
    Dakar was just the begining.
