Doubt its anywhere near as much as bilstein though.

im not arguing with you over the quality of the bilstiens, just pointing out that the length arguement is a null debate.

i actually just spoke to some who said you were wrong about companies making the correct length shock. all these companies out source their shocks from 2 companies over seas who do not build custom length shocks.

I spoke to a guy the other day who swears up and down his johnson is bigger than my tires.

On a serious note I know you can get them built to correct length because I have several friends who have done it and when they showed up they measured them. All shocks were exact length asked for.

What are you talking about? Read what I wrote. I said they weren't custom shocks.

But, you can find the correct length shock from almost anyone. It's as easy as searching through their inventory. We do it daily.

Learn to read.

yeah try find the "exact" correct length shock from rustys. not many options. its all one standard length for each size lift. these shocks are for guys who do what they have to to just get by on a budget.

Rustys doesnt make shocks....

Order from Monroe, skyjacker, etc.

Thats why they dont list them, they dont need them. but if you order from a shocks company you can get whatever you need.
