I bought it with it installed and i dont really mind the ride but my air ride doesnt work any longer so it is very floaty and bouncy. Here are a few pics, just looks like keys with no shock extenders.

Are those shorter shocks like above or regular length since it would have extenders?

Shorter shocks but 3 inches or more you use extenders. Will fix the massive angle also they are pitched at which let's shocks works a lot better.

Do you have helper bags also? What about maybe some 5" rear lowering springs? My front sits perfect but the rear is a good 2-3" higher still.

Well here are my measurements.

FL 33 1/8
FR 32 1/2
RL 34 1/2
RR 34 1/8

So I'm basically at 34" already, so I guess it's only 1" higher or so in the rear. And the FR tire is just low FYI. These tires are near brand new so I can't swap them out.
