Why would you want GM to replace the stock shocks with longer ones? :confused:

Let me guess, for cranking up your torsion bars.

You guessed it. The shocks bottom out before the stops on the A arms.
Witch ruin the shocks. I would say its a design flaw.

I would crank the T bars up it the truck was level to start with.

Do yourself a big favor, ditch the stock shocks, they suck anyways.
Or go with some cognito a-arms, includes a bracket that raises lower shock mount so stock length will work.
