Sorry about the hijack, how do you find the powerdowns? Are they the 12 inch travel ones? Ive got a set at work that I was looking at putting in the rear.

yea they arnt to bad. I havnt got my leaf set up very well at the moment. Yea they are 12s

so these power down shocks will be suitable for the 4 inches of lift i want??

3 inches of lift, 2" extended shackles only give 1" of lift.

You want to measure the cycle of the suspension without any shocks in to get a true measurement then go and find a shock that will suit this distance making sure that it is long enough to not hamper travel and not too long to bottom out on compression while being suited to your load carrying requirements.

Not a simple thing to say use XYZ Brand shock

And then you need to consider valving.
