KYB's are on, gotta love having a pit. Interesting part is the KYB's are about 25mm shorter than the Monroe's. Hopefully it's not an issue because the part number is the same for FE2 and standard. On another note the springs have settled and have dropped 10mm. If they drop another 10 then the ute should sit pretty level.
Interesting what you said losh1971, a while back I queried King Springs about me wanting to change my standard springs to FE2 specs and I wasn't sure about shocker size to use. I was told to fit their front and rear low springs which were about 30mm lower than standard which they said equaled factory FE2 height and to fit the shorter Monroe gt sports shortened shocker.
I ended up using the standard heavy duty springs on the rear with airbag inserts for large loads with the standard monroe gas reflex shockers. Monroe did list 2 different part numbers for the standard and shortened shocks.
I measured the eyebrow height of the car before and after install and it didn't change in height. So for me the king springs were equivalent to the factory originals. The settling of height would be from the rubber spring pads compressing after some mileage, I was told it would be about 500kms from install.
It seems your KYB's are the fe2 if they are shorter than the monroes regardless of their part numbers and perhaps the lovells are in the same boat. I only trust the original gm part numbers to be on spec, aftermarket companys are not always right on spec unless they supplied the original factory part in production. Even the rare spares parts are not exact copies/specs of the factory original.
