I recently installed an ihc 4/6 drop kit. The rear came with a flip, notch, extenders, and shorter shocks.

I want to install some air shocks to help regain some if the bed function, but these extenders are not long enough to use factor length shocks.

Everything I see online is for up to 5 in of drop.

So I guess I have 2 questions.

1 what extenders to use Monroe factory length air shock kit

2 what Monroe kit can I use with the current setup.

the specs from the drop kit supplier for the included standard shocks are 19.5 extended and 13.5 collapsed

I run a belltech upper shock relocation bracket and lower shock extenders on my C2500. I did use Belltech shocks, though.

Do you have to remove the bed to install? The instructions say to do so.

Are the shocks factory length?
No. They are drop shocks. With my flip it would be been impossible to use factory length. I’m not sure if stock shocks will work with a drop like that.

I had my bed off to do my big C notch. It would be very hard to do with it on.

The better question is why you don't have "bed function" with a drop?
7 bags of mulch put me riding the bump stops all the way home.

I have not notched the bed support yet so I installed bumps to keep the diff from contacting the bed.
