    We currently have no official ETA from RCD, but my guess is about 2-3 weeks.

    Until they raise the price to us...
    Rumor has it they are going to be going up again a few dollars a shock on the fronts..
    If it does go up it will most likely be around $5-$10.00 on the set of "4".
    Thank you.

    Question... do the longer rear shocks add lift to the rear of the truck or are they just made for trucks that already have rear lifts?

    Hi,
    Longer rear shocks will not lift the vehicle...
    They will accommodate some vehicles that already have a lift.
    Hope this helps...

    To level out the front with the back, is 1.75 setting the best? Mine does not have the TSB in the rear and is a TRD off road 2007.

    Or if I set the front at 2.0, what AAL should I get to level with the front? Thanks.

    .85 front with no AAL

    1.75 front with 1.5" AAL

    1/4" top plate spacers will add roughly .5" lift to front if you want a little more

    setting to 2.5 is not recommended by some, other's do it, I'd rather do the 1/4" top plate for 2.25 front and leave in the OL leaf in the rear when you do the AAL. That'd be my suggestion

    so am i dumb or when using these shocks it puts a preload on the front springs....wont that shorten the life of the springs and make them wear out faster

    It's optional. You can set it to 0 and have no lift but better shocks, or you can set it up to 1.75 and preload the springs..get lift..but also get harsher ride.
