      Normal shocks don't control ride height, springs do.

        Since we don't have a coil-over setup in the back, Tru's right, shocks alone won't do it.

        A spring perch kit like Ground Control or others make will allow for adjustability. Note that these won't wor with stock springs unless you want to go higher than stock, since they have a minimum clearance they raise the spring by.

            Springs for the GC kit are typically sold separate, since they use a standard size spring which lets people specify the rate they want (and linear vs progressive rates).

            I have the kit on my car, with 400/150 springs (I think), revalved Bilstein HD's in the front and 3rd gen Bilstein HD's in the rear.

            If you're just adding the GC and new springs to the rear, not even bothering with shocks, you can plug them in about 15 minutes I'd guess. Jack the rear by the frame and you can just pop out the old springs and pop the new ones in, don't have to unbolt anything. One more lower and lift to get the ride height adjusted the way you want.
