True, it was more a matter of technical curiosity on my part.

If you buy the BDS kit numbers listed for the trailvoy platform, they come with ALL the proper shims and mounting hardware. No fiddling. I guaran-frickin-tee it.

On topic but slightly off...
I need a pair of new shocks in the rear but dont want just to get ones for our stock platform, i want to be able to get ones that will match our articulation for best performance. With the z71 springs and markmc's 2.5 spacer does anyone have an idea of our travel from full compression to full extention, obv needing to keep the shock slightly shorter to allow it to bottom out with articulation to prevent the spring/spacer from jumpin out

If I go BDS I want the 9500's....but I love that you can adjust the rancho 9000xl shock. Why wont BDS make an adjustable shock?
