You lifted 2 H2's by yourself, and need help measuring shocks?

Hummerz - i bought complete kits for others(2")...this is one i got 4 years ago stored for most time and now want to get rid of but one corner has fallen - i dont know what was originally put on it other than its fab-tech and cheap. i figure since it has to be 5-6" it doesnt mater as a long as i buy 2 shocks. this is probably dumb question but do they make air bag suspension that tall ? my experience is just installing complete kits/ not much skill -

I know this is going to sound elementary to most people.

If you know it's a Fabtech lift, go to the Fabtech website and see what shocks they use on their H2 lift kits.
Or go one step farther and call Fabtech and see what shocks they recommend and/or the collapsed and extended shock length.

Shocks don't control ride height.
