    i ordered shocks from filthymotorsports. 28 inch fully extended well they got here and there 32 inches fully extended. they said there not refundable so i put them o along with LR uca's and it looks like shit. the front is prob sitting at around 10inches and the back 6 looks bad. the alignment im sure will not work when i get it done monday. my left tire sits straight and the right is bowed in i believe the tow adjustment. the lift was tuff country 6 inch and it called for cutting the tie rods shorter now it seems they should be longer to fix the toe adjustment. and the tires sit on there outer edges not sure what to do to fix this. keep the shocks and make them work or try and sell them and get the correct ones. need some input.

    sounds like you got a 12" coilover instead of a 10" coilover
    for a temporary fix you could put a shorter spring on there. Pics of your setup.

    here is the set up the wheels were turned to the right. so the right front is straight which pulls the left in and other way around if you turn it to the left.

    damn thats some serious bro lean. without selling these and purchasing new ones, the only thing you can do is crank those puppies all the way up and get a shorter or lighter spring.

    I'd hope not. He only has UCAs he said not full LT..in which case he shouldn't even have a 8" shock..

    I'd put whatever you had back in. Sell those. Be easy on forums.

    Edit: see it's a 6" tuff country..

    Aren't those an 8" shocks??
