New 2-Wheel drive leveling kit on ebay

I noticed my blue and yellows were too short when I installed them also. My truck may be 4x4, but I had the same shock issue. At full suspension droop I'm past the point of shock travel, no lift on truck. I was irritated by the fact but since I'm 12 miles from civilization, I installed and have been running them since. Wonder what gives.?

My shocks seemed long enough when Roland and I did my leveling kit? (not sure what brand they were)
I just recently replaced them (4 months after the leveling kit) with some Reflex's. While the swing arms were fully extended down I had no problem bolting up the shocks...I didn't make a point to look at the length, but IIRC they were fully extended when I bolted them up. So I'm guessing they were "just long enough"

Frank, I see you used the Reflex / shock I had just put them on the back of my truck in Dec. and am going to install them in the front with or without level kit this summer. I am still not sure I want to lift it. That I am waiting until I have the coin to do ball joints and bushings. So how do they ride?? Also I remember you had a little issue when towing. Did you get that worked out. If so what did you do to get the truck to handle better with a load ?
The reflexes are doing what they are supposed to be doing. They seem to recover faster with a load than the older shocks.
I'm happy over all with em, but My front end is still a little squirrly when I have a lot of trailer tongue weight. I guess thats normal without a WD hitch.

Thanks Frank. I was thinking if I go with the leveling kit I was going to go with air bags when towing. But I am looking forward to putting the reflex shocks in the front due to the fact that when I am on the highway the front gets alittle loose when I hit a dip in road.
But as far as the leveling kit it does help the total look of the trucks. Your truck is proof !! It is cool .

All I know is it looks good, and it goes down the road straight.
