Anyone know the collapse length for a 2019 Big Horn 2500 gasser, not lifted? Im poking through 4wheelparts.ca putting together a list of what I am going to order and its rather confused as to which ones will give me a lift and which ones wont. I found a nice set of Fox 2.0 shocks with 14" travel but I am not sure what that is compared to stock ... Thanks for the help!

I probably should have added I have no idea what the collapsed length or extended length is on the stock oem suspension.

Thanks again for any input

Front or rear?

If I recall correctly, fronts are 17-24 and rears are 19-27. That is from memory though as I replaced mine quite a while ago.

BUT...shocks alone will NOT give you a lift. You'll need new shocks that match up with whatever lift you add to it (whether that be through spacers or new springs). The appropriate lengths compressed and extended will need to match up with the travel associated with the achieved lift.

Give you a lift?

My plan is to do shocks and spings all around and try to change the travel length but not change ride height ... I got some quick disconnects for the front sway bar, so it is just for movement when I am on the backroads ... Unfortunately all the kits that are available are all 1" + lifts and I dont really know what I am doing, so figured I would ask here trying to get some help :)
