Overview

Rear shock setup and lift height
A rear reservoir shock controls how the rear axle settles and rebounds, which matters most when the truck is loaded or towing. Because it bolts into the original rear location, installation is usually a straightforward swap once the old unit is out. Measure the suspension height first so you know the shock is working in its intended range.
Lift changes move the geometry of the rear axle, so a shock that worked at stock height may sit at a different angle afterward. Check the mounting eyes and bushings on the old shock, since worn parts can change how the new unit loads. Rear shocks are commonly replaced in pairs so both sides damp the same way.
- Measure rear suspension height before buying
- Inspect bushings and mounting eyes on the old shock
- Replace rear shocks as a pair
- Recheck mounting fasteners after the first drive
