Ok lets get down to it.

this weekend i will be getting new rear shocks!(FINALLY!!)

now my expy is originally equipped with the air suspension in the back so I need to know if the shocks are any different between a 4x4 standard suspension and a air4x4 susp.

and if there is no difference....

I want to get these http://www.shockwarehouse.com/site/mon_loadlevel.cfm

or should I just go with regular shocks? i tow just so you guys know

could someone with an unlifted 4x4 with standard suspension measure the shock top to bottom? that would be a great help!

You can get two different length shocks for your expy. 21-1/4, and 23 and some change. Go with the 23", that way if you ever put the coil spacers in, you'll still have shock travel.

My 4x4 without air suspension the rear shocks measured 21 inches with the truck sitting on a flat surface, my Pro Comp ES9000 shocks measure 23.25 inches with the 2 inch spacers and I bought the stock length.
