I only had about 10,000 miles on the ride. I changed them out when I installed my Goldline springs. Then changed them out again to the shorter Monroes when I installed my air bags.

BTW, I did measure the length of rod from the "seat" to the end: The OEM shock and 5987 SensaTrac are identical.


(Koni - SensaTrac - OEM)

Hope that helps,
