shock question
Guys, as you can see at the bottom I have a 1985 F250 that does not have a lift on it, but I have an add-a-leaf in the back and front that makes the truck sit 1-2 inches higher than normal. I had to replace my rear shocks and before I ordered them from the local auto parts, I told them of my situation and asked if I could or should try to find shocks that are an inch or so longer than stock...the response was don't worry about it, jus t go with the good 'ol monroe magnums and that's it. well I put them in yesterday and really examined it...the shocks only have an inch of travel before they are fully extended. what do you guys think I should do? leave it or try to find something that will give me more travel? if so how much?
TIA

Shouldn't cost you more than $60 for a pair that FIT your truck properly.
Hope This helps,
