question about 4 inch lowering in rear
Do I need to get a shock re locator kit with 4 inch springs? All I could find was an article about 6 inch drop springs.

Re: question about 4 inch lowering in rear
I dropped mine 4" and only put an adjustable track bar and drop shocks. i was told the relocators are needed in 5+" drops, is that not correct?

Angle of the Dangle...... this thru KYB 4x4 review site
Mounting shocks at angles reduces the overall dampening effect of the shock. Reason being; the shock’s mechanisms will travel geometrically, less of a distance than that of the suspension system. Some vehicles (early model Land Cruisers, etc.) have their rear shocks mounted at about a 30-degree inward (inward = leaning toward the differential, not forward or aft-ward) angle, while others have their shocks mounted at a 20 degree angle or so forward and/or aft ward of the rear axle (e.g. Chevy, Jeep CJ’s, etc.). There are several reasons why this might be done. First, available space… regardless, if this is something you are going to do yourself, you’ll need to increase the static pressure of shock to mimic the shocks effectiveness of it being in a perpendicular location. Secondly, you can gain more suspension articulation than would normally be limited by the overall travel of the shock absorber if it were located perpendicular to that of mounting your shocks at an angle, if you don’t have room for a taller shock absorber. The charts here show the overall estimated reduced effectiveness of a raked shock absorber. However, these numbers should only be used as a rule of thumb as other factors such as the arc of the suspension cycle can factor in. A four inch drop at stock location means the shock is at a 42 degree angle without a load.... |

Re: question about 4 inch lowering in rear
For what it's worth, I installed 4" rear drop coils and also did the shock relocation bracket along with the longer trac bar. Rides so much better now. There are so many opinions on this. Do what your budget will allow . The rear of our trucks bounce anyway . Hey, post a pinion angle question and see what you get. :bann:

Guys lowered many thousands of these trucks well before anyone ever made shock relocators or adjustable track bars. I had several dropped 6 in the back with my only mod being installing front shocks on the back since they were shorter. The shocks were laid over like hell with the truck that low. And the rear ends were surely not centered. Only later did folks start doing it textbook properly. Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: question about 4 inch lowering in rear
I used to cut the springs on everything I owned. :lol: I had a huge caddy so low I would rip the tranny pan open about once a month. It had a bent pushrod so I pulled the rocker off and the pushrod out and drove it like that for a year or so before selling it. Ahh to be young and dumb! And broke. :metal:

Rear track bar from POL http://www.performanceonline.com/60-...on-components/
Springs from Cpp are cheapest, and shocks off ebay, he should be able keep this under 200.00 |

Re: question about 4 inch lowering in rear
So with the No Limit kit, do you use stock shocks?
