hi jim- they are the ones from our host that came with parobolics when order together. at 1st I was worried about the fit with the longer shackles but very thing fit. the shocks are more than 3/4 compressed when sitting so I guess there's more than enough travel when the axle articulates.

For the 1 ton chassis procomp part numbers:
ES3000 front 318509 rear 321523
ES9000 front 918509 rear 921532

I put the 3000s on my old SIIA with new stock springs I was amazed at the smooth ride. Liked it so much I put the 9000s on my Montero Sport. Got OMEs on the lightweight and other than the squeak of the parabolics its a real nice ride on and off road.
Shop around and search using the part numbers.

Thanks for the part nos. I have the regular SW springs front and rear with the long shackles. I also have MOD shocks from our hosts. I usually have dogs in crates in the back, but do haul the usual stuff from the garden centers.
