    They're performance shocks but LT is usually in the 14" or more range.

    I always forget they're in my garage, so many truck parts I no longer need haha. I have a small pile of shocks, but those one are the only ones worth a damn.

    Do you know the collapsed length? I was doing some research and found that fox 2.0 are 16” which is only 3” more then my 8” travel shocks. So if i just move my too mount they should fit just fine

    Don't forget your stock mounting pegs are massive 18mm. Performance shocks mount standard with 1/2 bolts. But either way shouldn't be hard to weld on mounts, I get mine from RuffStuff, it's cake.

    But they're 16.3" collapsed and 26.3" extended

    Hmmm that might work for my application... 5lugs have the lower shock mounts on the plates that hold the axel to the leaf springs do 6lugs have the same lower mount?

    You could probably pull 12" just fine from these depending on how you angle it. Valving gets more complicated but no biggie really.

    I'm more of a King, Icon, and ADS man myself. Unless we're talking mountain bikes, in which case fox all the way

    Gonna get my SAW 2.0s rebuilt that have been sitting in my storage for over a year...found a local guy that can do it. Kinda want to swap them out with my Kings once they're done just to see if there's much of a difference. But it'll be nice to have one performance set of coilovers ready to put in when the other needs to be rebuilt.

    Kings should hold up better really. 2.0 front are undersized for our rigs what with the lever ratio and all.

    I prefer to get that stuff from Filthy Motorsports but you being in Cali, might just be easier to have King ship it to you.
