How many inches of lift in the rear did those shocks give you? I'm thinking of putting them on my car to stiffen it up when needed. Good vid.

@vwtypelll Your old 'dampeners' actually appear to still work at 100%. From what you showed they are working as they should. The outside appearance is diseaving and has zero effect on the actual shocks condition. As long as the seals still hold and don't leak and the dampener moves slowly, smoothly, and quietly it is still good. Your new hijackers have dampeners and shocks built in them. They are 'assist' shocks. If they didn't have the dampeners but only the air shocks -you would bounce around.

@ndubecky2494 My comments are for helping, not criticizing. What you removed are your suspension system dampeners, not shocks. The term 'shocks' is misleading and most people misunderstand it. Your leaf springs are your shocks. The job of the dampeners you removed is to slow the fast bouncy rebound reaction of your leaf springs. You can drive the truck without the dampeners and you will see imediately what I mean. The dampners are not for holding up any weight at all, only for smoothing/slowing.
