No-limit rear shock mount

I'm going to go with this one mainly based on the fact I don't have the crossmember for the stock location fully intact since I'm going step notch route for the future plans. I like the way it mounts to the side of the frame and seems really easy to install.

My question is does it maintain stock length or should I be doing more math? (I guess it's 2 pieces so you could run whatever lenght you wanted huh? But you should still understand my question)

I thought the point of relocator brackets were to run stock shocks and still get max drop/lift from it? I don't want to buy shocks and then realize I am cheating myself an inch or two.


Suspension set up is

front: 2.5" drop spindle, 2.5" boxed lca, stock uca (might pie it if you think it would help go lower from bind. Not sure how to tell)
rear: bag over axle, step notch. Brothers bolt on shock relocator

Thanks in advance.

Re: No-limit rear shock mount

The point of relocators is to correct the shock angle issue created by lowering the vehicle. You still may need to run a shorter shock. I would contact Rob and let them know what setup you are planning and get his shock recomendation.

I just actually did that. and that makes more sense to me too about the relocators. I will probably end up just buying their b length since I will be going more than 5" lower in the rear. Now i'm trying to figure out if I want the cpp deluxe trac bar or the ece super track.

Rob used to give a slight discount on his panhard if you buy the shock relocation kit.

Sweet, I was hoping they had some sort of "kit." I liked their design a little more, seems easier to center/level than the cpp. Prices are almost the same as well.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

I kept seeing yours posted every Andy, one of the reasons I want it, looks really nice and clean. My only worry, hopefully rob can help me out on, is the scrubline.I read in another thread 17"+ wheel or you'll have possible issues..hopefully that's not true.
