it is odd! i took the shock off and aired out the truck. from mount to mount (middle) i got 8 3/4" on both sides". aired up i got 13 1/2" on driver side (side without the shock), and i got 13" on the passenger side (side that still has the shock). so it seems the shock is holding out on half an inch or so aired up all the way. according to Oreillys website, this shock is 12 3/4" fully extended, 8 5/8" collapsed all the way. so, it looks like im good on the fully collapsed, but its over stretching the completely raised up. ill never drive that high im guessing, i just have been airing it all the way up just for safety riding around the block. ride height will be at least 2-3 inches lower
