I've been looking all over its hard to find extended and compressed sizes on most websites.
Sorry for the late response dudes, I never remember to check this thread.
Part number for the shocks is 22159845

I ordered mine from my buddy that owns Torqd designs.
If you weren't already aware, the reason the Ekstensive shocks are so shitty is because they are Nissan Hardbody shocks,, on a full size truck... LOL
I wish now that I would've replaced them sooner, but oh well. It's done now.
I decided it was time to cleanup under my hood. The relays/fuses and PCM are going under the dash.
Got this far last night and decided to call it until this weekend. Got a lot done, just need to get some wire to extend what's required and make a pathway into the cab for the big harness.

I wanna rip out this baby 4.3 and swap a 5.3 in it. Plan is to do that once I sell the grey truck and take this one down for the body drop and just do it all a t once.
I can't believe I still have it dude. It's been for sale since right after Lone Star.
The price I have listed is a little high, but I can't even get anybody to look at it. POS! lol
Still have some cleaning up to do, but everything's inside the cab. Indeed up extending 28 wires total. Drilled a 3" hole in the fire wall and installed a rubber grommet I got from a big truck parts store. Loomed everything all the way to the terminal blocks at the ends. Gonna move into the cab and get everything mounted and reconnected.
I've been taking my time with it. I'm sure it could be done quicker, but I'm used to being in 1 spot messing with hundreds of wires for extending lengths of time, so it hasn't bothered me. Lol
It's a huge mess under the dash right now until I decide where I'm going to mount everything, but I just hooked the battery up and started the truck. That was a relief.
I did fuck up a little, forgot to run the cruise control harness back into the engine bay, and my grommet is pretty damn full. Might have to punch another small hole for that one...
I'm ready to get it all finished and cleaned up. I wanna see how nice everything under the hood will look with all these wires removed from under there.

It's really not all that bad.
I thought you were trying to sell that truck anyway?
Just read through this, it's making me want to keep my 02 GMC even though I don't have time for it anymore.
Thanks dude. The truck is nowhere near where I want it to be, but Rome wasn't built in a day. :amiright:
Cab wiring and placement is finished.
Ended up mounting the PCM under the console and strapping it to the trans tunnel. Sprayed some black paint on it just to conceal it better.
Turned out pretty good IMO. It's more messy than I expected/wanted under the dash with all of the harnesses in one little spot, but it's acceptable.

It fits perfectly under there once you remove the factory sub and enclosure.
The harness is plenty long, so it's not strained to keep it off of the gas pedal.
