Information on Porterbuilt front shock relocators?
 

2.5" spindle, and 2" spring static drop. Do I need shock relocators up front? If so .. does anyone have pictures of how they mount, specifically the PB version? If I don't need them, does anyone know a part number of a good shock to run? I will probably do KYB for now because I got a good buy on some new ones for the back. .. just so they match.

What should I put up front? KYB part number ?

I went with the relocates but have a lot more drop in my front end I mostly wanted to go with them becouse of the add strength vs the stock ones PB's look great I can take some pics later today of mine

Do you think I even need them on 4.5" drop? Aren't they really for bagged trucks?

You might be able to get away with a shorter shock and a factory upper location.... since it's static. If it were bagged I would say go with a relocation bracket.

Do you have pics of how they mount? Prices?

I need to call you anyway.. I need some other stuff too. Will you be around for a bit?

We are pretty hit or miss on the phone in the mornings. Things settle down a little after lunch.

Longer shocks are usually better as they offer more travel range. Keep this in mind vs paying extra for a spec shorter 'drop' shock.
