Josh, they just opened an advance auto parts here, and I discovered something interesting. Their computer and their books don't match for cross reference numbers. When I went to get my fronts, we cross referenced the heck out of them, and came up with 4 different length shocks that were otherwise identical. I think the shortest ones cross referenced back out to a ford?? I know 2wd will be different, but possibly you could use the same method... look up a monroe, then cross it to a KYB, then see what matches the kyb in a Gabriel... you chould ensd up with 4-5 different part numbers that are theoretically the same. Then you have your parts guy pull all of them, and pick the shortest one. Then you repeat the process starting with the shorter shock, [if you need shorter yet]...

Ok, I know we've discussed shocks like a bazillion times now, but I can't
remember if we ever discussed drop shocks. I need to replace my shocks and
don't have the money to spend on the super-expensive Hotchkis Bilsteins
(about $95 each) that go with my drop kit. I was thinking of getting either
some of the Doesch Tech shocks or some generic Monroes for a stock height
truck and just compressing them excessively. What do you all think? Anyone
have any experiences that they'd like to share??? Any help would be GREATLY
appreciated!!! Thanks!!
