Shock extension question
 
So its time to lower my truck since a buddy came over and gave me almost a complete kit. I have a bell tech flip kit but it didn't come with shock extensions do I have to use them? If so where can I get a set? thanks in advance

I can't offer any answers to the shock extensions, but I hear that Porterbuilt has a great selection of lowering products. And they may be able to answer your question if you contact them.

I got mine from ebay, if you use a flip kit with stock shocks and no extensions they will bottom out.

You can use front shocks on the rear with a flip.

So would the front shocks on the rear still be ok for a 6in drop.. I hear that the angle is off if I do that.. but if I can get away with it ill put them on the back too

So I finally got some shocks and put them on......... front shocks don't work for me, they are about a inch to short to bolt on.... unless there is a trick to it....
