Shocks for 3" front drop/5" rear drop
 

Anyone have any advice on shocks for my 67 C10 with a 3" front drop and 5" rear drop?:chevy:

CCP or ECE sell the shocks with their drop kits and I'm sure separately. As they don't manufacture the shocks there is probably a part number that can guide you to a vender or at least a name if you don't want to buy from them.

I used Belltech Street Performance shocks S2208 on the 4" dropped rear. Haven't changed the front ones yet but will get their 2103HA

Thanks for the replies guys. How do you like the Belltech Street Performance? I was looking at those or the CPP Black Magics.

I was looking for a shock made for lowered trucks that would improve the handling. These did all that, I am very pleased. My experience says get shocks made for trucks, not cars or the ride will be too rough.

I'm checking on Bilsteins to see if they have shocks to fit the 4-6 drop . They are expensive but I've got them on my stock daily driver and I think they are the best ,

Has anyone tried or using Aladdin American shocks. They are rebound adjustable? I currently have Bell tech performance shocks and although they seam to ride smooth they don't do well on the dips after a overpass. Wondering if the adjustable rebound will help.

I used KYB Monomax shocks for stock applications
2.5 drop spindles, -1" front springs
-4"hd rear springs, -1" rear blocks
Rear shock relocators, no notch.

The thing drives great with stock length shocks. The ride is definitely firm, but I wouldn't call it harsh. I wouldn't change a thing.

How did you lower the truck? Different methods of lowering mean different shock lengths. Have you or are you planning on changing the rear shock mounting for a more vertical shock orientation? If so I would hold off on new shocks until you have completed that modification.

I have used the Bell Techs on my lowered S10 Blazer. They are okay but not outstanding. They only last about 35k miles.

Anyone using the Bilsteins. My new Bell techs just dont have the needed damping foe 3" drop springs and the hwy overpasses.

Re: Shocks for 3" front drop/5" rear drop
 

Agree ^^

If you have a 3" front drop:

All spring - you'll need a 3" drop shock
2"spindle and 1" spring - you'll need a 1" drop shock.

I normally use the Belltech Street Performance shocks on the ones I build too. I like KYB, and of course Bilstiens are the shizit.. but they're a little spendy. I personally wouldnt recommended Belltech Nitro Drop shocks. I've had several fail on me. I wont buy anymore.

I also agree about the rear shock relocation brackets. A must have for anything over a 4" drop.

Has anyone used the Viking shocks B265 on there drop frontends without coilovers. I just found the same double adjustable like used on coil overs and wondered if they are good?
