If I have Pro-Comp Helper leaves that add approx an inch of height in the rear do I need to have longer shocks?

If you do alot of offroading and you have added travel or ride hight to you truck then yes you will need a longer shock. Can you run you factory shocks for a while Yes but I would keep a eye on the shock. You might top them out and over time blow the shock out.


Hope this helps.

Nick, what Bilstein shock length or part number would you recommend for a 1" block in the rear? Thanks.
