But doesn't that say that the shocks are fully extended when stopped on level ground? If you hit a bump while moving the shock will compress, but on the "rebound" it will be length limited and the tire could leave the ground? And if you hit a pothole wouldn't the fully extended shock prevent the tire from falling into the hole without taking the rest of the truck with it? Sounds to me like you need longer shocks.

That said, I'm no suspension expert.
