Shock question.
Hello guys I’m back and I’m doing a simple shock change. Iv put a two inch lift pucks under my coils in the front to level it out. I went a head and bought the bilstien 5100. They are a 4” in lift in the front and 2 in lift in the back. I’m wanting to know how level my truck is going to sit after I put them on. I know shocks are not enough to lift a truck alone so I’m hoping my front isn’t taller than back. I kinda thought I just loose a little shock travel before my truck sat nose high. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks

Unless the shocks are of a design that has a spring incorporated into them (A coil spring Mounted on them, a coil-over, or an Air fitting to charge an "air spring" inside of them) they aren't going to affect the ride height of your truck at all. Well, unless you jam a shock that's compressed length is longer than the ride height of your truck in there, making it a solid suspension.
