Yes your breath does stink <GRIN>

Seriously, I just now saw this post. Regarding the shock lengths. I'd suggest using the stock sizes unless you lift it immediately. My previous shock experience with the KYB's is that they will bottom out and blow the top out of them if you use the longer shocks up front without the torsion bar lift.

Not sure about the back shocks though since I'm lifted in back.
