Installed mine after work today, WOW what a difference they made vs. what comes in the Crown kit, rides better than it did even when it was stock!

What fox shock should I go with on my setup? I have the 1" factory block removed and a 2" drop shackle. Currently using my stock rear shock as I have removed my flip kit off of my truck and the belltech shock that came in my rear 4" flip kit is too short.

With truck sitting normally, measure from the upper shock bolt hole to lower shock bolt hole. Measure the distance from bump stop to where it contacts the axle. Remove both rear shocks, jack up the rear of the truck from the frame (under the hitch works well) until the wheels are off the ground. Measure from the upper shock bolt hole to lower shock bolt hole.

You can now figure out your compressed, extended and normal ride height lengths and compare that to the Fox charts to find the best fit. You don't want the shock to fully bottom out or limit up travel. From past experience the OEM shocks will often "slightly" limit up travel, but only a small amount.

So I finally got the chance to measure things.

Bolt to bolt with truck on ground: 19"
Bump stop to axle: 5"

Bolt to bolt with axle in the air and shocks unbolted : 24.5"

So with these specs would i am not sure to go between 985-24-004 or the *-005


Any help would be appreciated.

I know this is an old thread but I wonder the 2015 and up Chevy Colorado rear shock also work. It measures at 23.150 ext and 15.050 compressed. I haven’t heard anyone done that so it’s just a wondering.
