Default bilstein shocks do they lower your ride height?

I bought bilstein shocks for my 98 HD in the front and sports in the back, is here a drop with them? im curious .. ive heard various opinions on shocks but overall bilstein is the overall chosen winner so for that im happy with my purchase.

my next gadget is a pcm tune and i cant wait, im tempted to do it now but its my time of the month where all my bills come in lol but soon i will and i will make a before and after test with result so ill let u guys know when i do that

Springs are what lower your truck. Shocks just reduce the movements made by springs so your not going up and down up and down up and down when you're riding.

New shocks have always lifted my vehicles a little.

Shocks just take the bounce out of your ride and gobble up the impact you feel over bumps - SHOCK ABSORBER
