Truck also has large 275-55-20 wheels and tires. Stock height front, lowered 2" in the rear. Shocks work fantastic. Much better ride. No more body roll. Just a nice firm, controlled, planted feel. Review: Perfect on my 1997 Dodge 2500 - Smoothed out the ride and firmed the truck up. Feels much more controllable. Definately going to be sticking with these shocks in the future. Very high quality and everything is included. ## Features - Maximum performance upgrade with up to 40% more damping performance than standard shock absorbers - Perfect solution when you need to upgrade suspension performance on your GM truck - Truck monotube design outperforms all other standard shock absorbers - Zinc-coated, stainless steel piston ring provides a positive seal in the most extreme conditions - Rubber boot to protect the shaft and keep dirt and debris away from the seals ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000C3ZDA2 | | Auto Part Position | Center | | Automotive Fit Type | Vehicle Specific Fit | | Best Sellers Rank | #322,990 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #1,150 in Automotive Replacement Shocks | | Brand | KYB | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (107) | | Date First Available | November 9, 2005 | | Extended Length | 24.02 Inches | | Exterior Finish | Machined | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00781552002383 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 3 pounds | | Item model number | 565016 | | Manufacturer | KYB | | Manufacturer Part Number | 565016 | | Material | Rubber, Stainless Steel | | Model | KYB 565016 | | OEM Part Number | 565016 | | Set Name | KYB MonoMax | | Style | Heavy Duty,Monotube | | UPC | 781552002383 826732636283 | | Vehicle Service Type | Car, Truck | ## Product Details - **Auto Part Position:** Center - **Brand:** KYB - **Exterior Finish:** Machined - **Style:** Heavy Duty,Monotube - **Vehicle Service Type:** Car, Truck ## Images ![565016 MonoMax Gas Shock , Red - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Ol6PxZezL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will these shocks work on a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado with 2.5 inched of lift in rear?** A: I do not know u may want to email the manufacturer or go with lift kit shocks **Q: how long are these fully extended and fully collapsed.. mine are 16" collapsed 28" extended** A: 24.02" extended, 15.35 compressed per KYB website.
