Shock question
 
Here's my question my 67 has a 4-6 drop do they make a shock that will work or am i going to have to relocate the rear shocks?

You're going to need shock relocators, lowering shocks and an adjustable panhard bar.

you need to relocate // the closer the shock is to vertical the more effectively it works

You'll probaly want a c-notch as well.

well it was dropped when i got it and it didn't need c notch but was real bouncy out back that was with nitto or nitro drop shocks something like that but i seen they had a drop shock 2 out didn't know if it was better for the application?

Problem is, your shocks are more layed down now that the truck is lowered. With the bracket kit, the shocks are then oriented more verically which will greatly improve the ride and do away with the bouncy condition you have now.

I made my own shock relocation brackets. You need to stand the shocks up closer to vertical to make them more effective. With a 6 inch drop in the rear you will need a C-notch for your frame.
