These shock extensions are designed for use with the factory shocks on '99-10 GM 1500 trucks with 3" rear lift blocks. When you raise the chassis of your truck, there's more to it than just lifting the springs. The original shocks are set up for the original ride height, and probably don't have enough travel to accommodate the new ride height and a big pothole at the same time. A shock absorber was never intended to by what limits downward suspension travel. A big pothole or whoopsie will at the very least damage the shock by overextending it. Eventually, this will make the shock fail, or pull it out of its mounts. One solution is to get shocks that are long enough. That's expensive, especially if you have a new truck with new shocks. This adapter simply bolts to the upper shock bracket, and allows you to retain the original shocks.
Henderson NV is smack in the middle of a lot of off-roading activity. That's where ReadyLIFT® is based, in order to be close to their customers and their needs. About 12 years ago, ReadyLIFT founder and CEO Scott Poncher realized that there was a market for people who wanted to lift their trucks only a few inches, not the six inches or more that most lift kits were set up to do. A few inches were enough to make the truck's stance level (instead of drooped down in front, as seems to be common today), or to accommodate slightly larger wheels and tires. There was no option for these customers that didn't raise the truck more than necessary, was easy to install and reasonably priced. And so ReadyLIFT was born to bring a line of reasonably-priced, but still highly-engineered and well-made moderate-rise lift kits to market.
