I have no clue. I think he said is made by Pro Comp.  I asked for the best shocks for my setup and that what he suggested.

ok, just wondering.  I've seen folks get the spindles, then buy shocks for a dropped vehicle and the shocks end up being too short.  Lots of folks forget that with the spindles, the suspension remains the same as stock.

Good luck.  don't forget the pics.

Interesting, I hadn't thought about that before but your right it would need stock length shocks unless it's lowered more than just the spindles.  :yes:

2011 Silverado, Ext Cab Z-71 5.3, 6L80, Airaid CAI, Magnaflow cat-back, and a little tuning by me and HPT.

Gone but not forgotten, 2002 Victory red. The quickest lifted 4x4 AV in the US in it's day.

need?  depending on your milage, probably not.  If you have less than 50-60K miles, you can live without them. 

If you're happy with the ride you have now, send them back, or just keep them for when you actually need them.

With my set up (2" drop spindles and t-bars bottomed out for 4+" drop), I still have stock shocks with no problems.  I know with 130K miles, I need them, but haven't bothered replacing them.
