Went home last night to swap cars with my dad so mine can get a tail pipe but before I left i measured for shocks as best I could with the help of our tractor..
I could have gone higher but the tractor was maxed out. And I couldnt use the boom cause it just wanted to lift the front end of the tractor.

Not too sure on exact numbers cause with flexing it out I was only getting 5-6" travel where I'm planning on mounting my shocks.... but the pro comps are 10" travel and I'm gonna put those up front.

Have you considered and/or would the F250 shock towers work up front in your application?
I had pretty good success putting them on the CJ. Ended up being a pretty long travel shock up front and you look to have a nice set of shocks to use.

Not paying any attention. Youve got it stabs.

I would do the opposite. You will likely get more travel out of the front as it is, so I'd run the bilsteins in the front and procomps in the rear.
Will, as treasurer I advise you to re-look at the pictures haha...the bilsteins your referring to are really procomp (mx-6s maybe?) and they are indeed going up front...right stables?
