When I installed the Truxxx kit on my truck, I asked a friend of mine if the original shocks and shock extenders could be replaced with longer shocks. He told me that whenever I wanted to order new front shocks that he could replace them with Rancho or any other aftermarket shocks, with a size to fill the original shock + extender. His company, Trailblazers is based here in Lexington, but has a huge online presence through truckaddons.com.

I think he's assuming he can do that. I spent almost 2 hours at the local Central 4Wheel Drive store. We went through every catalog from every manufacturer.

Rancho politely told me to go pound sand. The biggest issue is that the front shocks are very unique. They have a clevis mount (similar to a strut) on the bottom and a pin on the top.

No one else makes them. No one. Rancho makes them in 2 sizes 0" ride height and 4". And told me they are absolutely not interested in making a 2 " version. "See ya later lady and good luck."
