    Supposed to be just 1" but with camper off it's really high. Hoping it will lower to proper hight when camper installed. Fox 2.5 so guessing 2.5

    2.5 is the shock body size (2.5”), not the lift.

    If you go with longer shocks to work when unloaded, they’ll likely be too long when the camper is on.

    Seems a little strange, but I suppose you could install limiting straps to prevent over-extension…

    Before I did that though, I’d confirm that you have the correct shock length to begin with. Alcan should be able to assist with fitment, I’d think.
