shocks cannot change ride height :icon_confused: but i suppose if you want a bit of a lift, you can crank your t-bars a little. more info on this in the tech library.

Maybe the shocks are too short and preventing the truck from sitting at its normal rest height?? they would have been a pain to install though, and you probably would have noticed.

Think about it this way, you can compress the shocks by hand with out too much difficulty. Can you lift your truck by hand enough to affect the ride hieght?
