Larry The shocks of a vehicle are not intended to make a difference in the ride height of your vehicle. If your vehicle seems a little droopy at the rear 'cause someone was a collector of river rocks look into the investment of a new set of rear springs. You may save a nickel this week if you go the "re-ark" route. In a couple or so years you will find the rear bumper dragging through the asphalt as you make that turn off the city street into hamburger heaven.
