Always use protection! CPP'S simple upgrade to eliminate shock stud failure,
 

Guys here is another example of a subtle upgrade that makes a world of difference with protecting your investment. A common problem with these trucks is the factory shock studs pull through especially on a truck that has been lowered, these are a must have!! For board members i will give you guys a set for $25.00 and they are a no brainer.

Very good idea. Do you take pay pal?

Re: Always use protection! CPP'S simple upgrade to eliminate shock stud failure,
 

Yes we sure do. Thanks

I've seen these before. Why do the stock mounts holes tend to fail on lowered trucks?

Re: Always use protection! CPP'S simple upgrade to eliminate shock stud failure,
 

The factory located the chock in such a way that that as the suspension is compressed (lowered) the shock becomes angled relative to the mounting stud. This angle results in a bending moment on the upper shock stud. Most lowered length shocks are valved stiffer than the OE length to compensate for the shorter suspension travel available because of the lowered ride height.

These brackets are very similar to the OE brackets used on some of the 4 wheel drive trucks. I guess GM figured out the stud was not attached very well but only fixed the problem on 4x4’s.

I need replacements for my 4x4. Do your bolt holes line up with the frames OE rivet holes?

Re: Always use protection! CPP'S simple upgrade to eliminate shock stud failure,
 

I need a set or maybe even two..

Time to make the call.. and Thanks a bunch!!

Re: Always use protection! CPP'S simple upgrade to eliminate shock stud failure,
 

Hey Jeff- I already have 1 mounting stud missing from my frame (as pictured) Do you carry an OEM-type replacement stud? If so, I'd like to get a set of these brackets and a new stud as well. Thanks.

Re: Always use protection! CPP'S simple upgrade to eliminate shock stud failure,
 

I made this part several years ago. I think it will interchange to the OE part. If it does not line up it is atleast very close and may end up working anyway.

Yes we have a replacment stud. I have made repairs like you need. Simply bolt the new stud to a heavy washer, bolt on the new bracket and weld the washer to the frame.

No sweat guys! I have been taking orders for these all morning, by the way i can ship them for $5.00 and include a brand new colored catalog. :metal:

Re: Always use protection! CPP'S simple upgrade to eliminate shock stud failure,
 

How do I find the 73-87 stuff on your website? I was just there trying to order these and couldn't find them :-(

Re: Always use protection! CPP'S simple upgrade to eliminate shock stud failure,
 

Great Question? We are actually working on adding some really cool stuff to the web and our new catalog for the 73-87 stuff. These should work fine on a 73-87. Thanks.

Re: Always use protection! CPP'S simple upgrade to eliminate shock stud failure,
 

Count me in on a set too. Can you PM me with your paypal info? I'll get my info returned at that point. Thanks.

Re: Always use protection! CPP'S simple upgrade to eliminate shock stud failure,
 

Yes! PM me as well,Thanks!

Edit....I'm interested in the shock brace and front shock studs for a 73.
