Shock --------------Lift-------------Compressed-----------Extended
TC 61301 (rear)....4-6"...................17".......................29.5"
TC 61261...."........3"......................16"......................26.5"
TC 69105...."........0"......................13.5"...................22.5"
TC 61231 (front)....4-6"...................13.5"..................2.5"

My truck is currently about 19.5" eye to eye. I have not measured it hanging from the frame. I will try to do it, but I want to try and get the motor/trans in tonight.

Can someone measure there frame? ground to top of front frame rail and ground to top of rear frame rail without the engine and body on it? I am just wondering the height difference.
Your 1/2 ton wont be the same as my 3/4 ton with 1 ton running gear. I only noticed about 1/2" lower with the engine, trans and T-case installed. I have 6" lift on my truck with some junk wheels on it to keep it lower to the ground while I work on it. I have 36" tires to put on once the cab is back on. I'm at work now I can measure Wednesday for you.
