4" drop axle
 

hello i have a 4" drop axle on a 1950 gmc truck can anyone tell me shock length needed and good brand of shock they have used

Re: 4" drop axle
 

Should be the stock shock length. look it up on rockauto.com

Re: 4" drop axle
 

Yep, the shock length doesn't change with a dropped axle. The axle is in the same spot it was before it was dropped in relation to the frame it's just 4 inches closer to the ground.

thanks for replys so when i look at the POL catalog for instance they list a shock for a 3-4" drop is that more for a mustang II front end

Re: 4" drop axle
 

Yes Mustang, S10 any suspension that uses A frames and coil springs to drop the vehicle. The drop axle your just stretching the spindle end upward and leaving the spring to axle distance alone.
