It absolutely can. There are quit a few choices right her on Amazon. The Rockshox Monarch R is a good 1. Just make sure you get the kit and bushings for install.

I think you will have to cut off the original air connector and use the fittings supplied with the shocks.

Negative, this kit is strictly for the rear suspension, it does comeFully with spring and shock, just like factory, however shorter

With parking brake on, lift rear end with a block and jack, enough to take the weight off the existing shocks, remove bolts from shock, remove shock, install new shock. I did mine one side at a time, took about 30 mins for both sides. Make sure you are lifting the frame with the block .

No. The stock shocks have the travel. So after market shocks will be the same. As long as you have no lift kit installed.

I have replaced the rear shocks first since those were very bad. Just 3 bolts in the trunk to the top bracket and one big bolt on the bottom. You will need a spring compressor which auto z loaned me. Compress the spring on both sides to take the tension off and unbolt the top center bolt. Keep the parts in order as you remove them and install them on the new shock. Reverse to install, Easy install. Have not done the front yet but are similar. The install the front, use Chalk to mark the pattern on the lower parts to get the new part installed close to original then get the alingment done

I would advise you to contact Rancho and they will help you with your application. Stock height and 3-4" lifted trucks will take different shocks. Hope that helps

I used them on a 2004 lesabre with level ride system easiest shock I have ever changed no other things needed, but I heard sometimes new air fittings needed

Yes, but you will be losing those two inches in the drop if the shock. But that is the same thing for any shock you have on there with that much of alift. The best thing to do would be to relocate the anchor point for the install to get the full articulation of the shock. Other wise they will still work great, just a stiffer to a already stiff ride.

I installed my air lift system in a 2010 dodge 1500. It does not have shocks in the rear so I did not have to deal with that problem. Sorry I could not help.

No,don't remove lift, just replace shock,right shock and left shock are different numbers

This is a air shock there is no adjustment it is done with the two air chambers you set by your weight. This is not a $1000 dollar shock. What it is is a great upgrade for the money. I had high dollar shocks in the past and this on gives them a run for the money.rocshox did a great job.

it should be the same shock. They will lift the rear about 2in. My rubber inserts between spring and shock fell out. I spray the rub area with WD 40 to stop squeaks. I still love the shocks.

This is designed to be used on a conventional shock, not a strut. But, it's pretty universal and adaptable. For the price, you may wish to experiment if it looks like you may be able to cut it to fit.

Yes, they are air ride shocks. They are a perfect replacement for the original factory rear shocks on my 2002 Buick Lesabre. Took maybe 45 minutes to replace the pair. Even the factory air line fitting fit the shocks perfectly. Saved a fortune compared to the factory shocks.

There for the rear, the same ones I just brought four months ago for my 2004 Cadillac escalade. They have the same type of suspension. Now im replacing my compressor without it you have no air to shocks in rear, so no shocks. Easy to put on. You have a air leveling compressor in the rear by the shocks they fill up with air by the compressor. They the rear alright, I remember paying for those, very expensive. Hope all goes wel, God bless

These shocks are designed for rear use. I used them on my 2003 Buick. Great product.
