New shocks needed with new X code springs.
Hey folks, I am looking to order new X code leaf springs to level out my front end. My shocks are in need of replacement. I’m looking at the blistein 4600 shocks and need to know if I can order the shocks for stock ride height? Not sure if the extra height will make a difference and I can’t seem to find an answer on any forums.

Okay great, I think it’s definitely the way to go. Just wasn’t sure if longer shocks were needed.

thanks!
