rear shock absorbers
 
Is there a difference in length? the two shock absorbers in question are the 4.4-2000-2003 sport susp. shock and the 4.8-2004-2006 shock. Last can I use the 4.8 rear shock absorber on a 2001 with rear air suspension if it is shorter in length? Questions before lowering the X and changing components. Thanks

:thumbup: Justin..whats up buddy!?

I'm not sure about the answer to your question.. I apologize for the quick Hijack.....

After dropping the X in November with the KW's .....The alignment is fine...I do on the otherhand need to get an alignment this Friday and Dial out some Negative rear camber.... Way too much negative in the rear... I would like to keep some rear negative camber for performance reasons....do you have a reccomendation for how much negative I should have dialed in....degrees??

Again sorry bout the Hijack...I thought this may pertain to you once you drop.

I believe the stock rear camber is -1degrees. make sure you get another alignment for the toe after you adjust the camber. However for such a huge 3inch drop you might need a Kmac rear camber kit.
