 I measured the ride height and the extended positions of my existing front Monroes.
 RH: 13.06"
 Ext: 15.5"

 Specs from above front shocks (Compressed/Extended):
 Stock: 10.2"/16.7"
 Hotchkis/Fox: 9.05"/14.3"
 QA1 TS507: 9.38"/14.3"
 RTech: 9.55"/15.3"
 QA1 TS501: 10.2"/15.5"

 So far, it appears that the TS501's are the only set that fits my current Extended dimension. The RTech is close at 15.3". I will email RTech on Monday to see if they have a longer shock.

 I emailed Ridetech and they said that even though I measured 15.5" as the tire is just starting to come off of the ground and the Ridetech shock extension dimension is 15.3", .2" wont make a difference.

 They explained as:
 "" The shock will not be damaged when lifted up off the ground.  All of our shocks have a built in bump stop to prevent extension crashing.  The shock internals will be protected because at full extension they will be resting on this internal bump stop.""

 So it appears that I could use the Ridetech (15.3" ext.) or the QA1 TS501 (15.5") front adjustable shocks with my current setup.
