Re: rear shock relocators

It will help you get more travel out of your rear shocks and the ride will be better.

Re: rear shock relocators

Classic Parts sells rear relocator kits ($80/set w/new studs) and recommends them for any drop greater than 3". My truck is dropped 4" in the rear and I'm using stock locations without any problem. Not sure about anything more of a drop. Good luck,

Re: rear shock relocators

I have 6"springs in the rear, I made my own relocators from the stock shock mounts. Swap from one side to the other and bend. The brace in the opposite direction.
