thankyou, i didnt realize they have pins in the top. i wish i could sell the set of BPEs i had, but i still need them until i go up a little higher and get new shocks

and can you please ellaborate how adding BPEs will shorten the shock by 1.5 inch? when i put the BPEs on mine the shock sat at least 3/4 in higher then when i had stock shocks with bar pins.

I'm not trying to be a dick, it wont hurt my feelings if you dont buy these i would like to gain some education on what you are saying so i know.

There is the link to my FS page

I think you measurement is closer to an accurate number for most BPEs. the below post explains it.
