Re: Shock placement

I'm not sure how you'd move the lower shock mount forward much. Or why you'd want to for that matter. Unless you've got more suspension travel than your shocks can handle, it will actually hurt the performance of your shocks. The further forward you move them the less they can actually do their job. There would be less shock stroke as you move forward.

This is how mine are mounted. Very similar to a factory mount, just forward slightly. As you can see from this picture, the shock is mounted in front of the rear end. It's the same on both sides. I don't know of any companies that make staggered shock mounts for these trucks. So it's not necessary by any means.

Sorry, this is the best pic I have right now.
