So i blew out my front passenger's side shock yesterday and i'm going to go to napa and get a set of monroe reflexes, but i don't know how to go about getting ones that fit my truck being leveled out without bottoming them out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. -Garrett

not sure how long, just read in a few places that the reflex's that a place like napa would have for my truck are like 1/2" shorter than stock ones and would bottom out with leveling keys.

Depends on your leveling kit too. i think Cognito's can give you an extra inch or two of travel with the right shocks. If the ones you had worked, I would take it off and measure it fully lengthened and compressed to see.
