As the title implies, I'm looking for the shortest possible front strut. I put my truck on air and I'm currently limited in the front end because the belltech drop struts are too long fully collapsed. Truck is awd, and I'm keeping it that way and I'm not in it to do a full shock relocation because my front bags are a shock through type and utilize the rings that came with the drop struts. Are there any available coil over struts that are known to be shorter than the norcal/belltech fonts?

Also, any known drop spindles for these things?

I know the KW coilover is shorter than stock. But they also do not like going lower than they need to be. They are meant for performance and not stance.

which leads to perhaps a TBSS Viking coilover from DSP?

Alternatively and it will cost more but you buy a tubular front A arm from @Oscar and it uses a standard eyelet style coilover. Normally spec’ed for 19” end to end, but since it’s a standard eyelet style and not a GM style mount you can source a shorter shock body easily from the likes of qa1, Viking, etc.

Mitch808, thanks. I had wondered about just using a coil over. Realistically, my ride height isn't too much lower than most lowered tbss. I'm at 28 ground to fender to keep from bottoming out. I'm really just looking to lay lower in the front without having to do much more modification
