Having the shocks relocated is the only way to fly!!CPP shock relocation kit!

Hey guys i was reading on another thread about how to modify stock tracbars and make home made shock relocators. We mass produce the perfect solution to both these issues and they work like a charm. The shock relocators come 2 lowers and 2 uppers powder coated with the mounting hardware. Before we try to reinvent the wheel e-mail me and i will give you a deal on a rear kit and get you down the road.:metal: Remeber guys just ask me for anything and if i have it , i want it on your truck!

I rob post this picture to show you the correct shock angle and the ease of installing this kit. Its really a simple bolt on and very cost friendly.

In a nut shell the less angle on your shocks the more efficient they are

After you lower the rear suspension the shocks will be mounted at a large angle, kind of like there laying down. The shock looses its abality to work when it is like that. The relocation brackets remount the shocks so they are more upright. This makes the shock work better at controlling the suspension movment.

$50.00 a set for members and with a step notch on the uppers you would need to fab up some type of mount. Thanks Jeff.

Do you have some pics of the kit installed? I am using your 4" drop springs and the shocks are just about laying flat. What about new U-bolts? Are those in the kit? Do you recommend using degree shims as well?

I posted a pic of them installed above, they do not come with the u-bolts as you can use your originals with this kit. We do sell the pinion shims also if you need them. Thanks

Hey Jeff, I have a problem- I had to cut my old track bar mount (on frame) to get the old track bar off (bolt was seized in bushing) - do you guys happen to sell the frame mount bracket? If so, let me know, I need to order one up! thanks brother!

I saw that pic but the lower bracket is not the same as your kit. It looks like a block where the shock mounts. I thought is was mounted to the trailing arms because they look aftermarket as well.

OK. Can you see the block? What much are the U-bolts and shims? Is there something like a 1/2" to 1" block with shim built in?

Yes i see what you have circled and thats not a block that is the lower shock mount. The shock stud bolts onto that. Thanks

Hart Rod's are almost straight up and down,mine are still laid over like tcb-1's. Is this because I am using the stock trailing arms?.Ideally I would like my shocks behind the housing,but still trying to figure out how to do that.

TCB-1S and mine are correct, they will lay slightly over but not on there side.

does anyone actually have a before and after pic of the set up, and possibly a pic of the bottom side of the bracket? would be great to see, thanks
