Help with lowering shock part numbers
 

Trying to order up shocks for a 1972 C10 we are lowering.
Truck is going to be built with:
- Front is 2.5" drop spindles with 1.0" drop springs.
- Rear is 4.0" drop springs

Shocks I am looking at
Front: CPP-4809G
Rear: CPP-4052G

Are these the correct shocks we need? Thanks.

Simple answer. Stock length shocks will work fine in you application.

Front will be fine with a stock length shock. The 1" shorter coil is effectively the same as a 40yr old OE coil (as far as height) so the OE shock travel will accommodate that.

For the rear w/a 4" shorter coil, I would relocate & mod the brackets to run a stock length shock:

An alternative if you want to spend a little to improve shock functionality is to move the rear shocks outboard of the frame & improve the installed shock angle even more vs the previous DIY method above:

Always keep in mind, the shorter the shock, the less functionality there is within that reduced travel. You always want to run the longest stroke shock possible. So, if you can stick w/the OE specs, do it.

My truck has 3" drop coil springs in the rear. I used a shock relocation kit to allow more travel with stock-length KYB shocks. Been working fine for around 25 years. Got the kit from Early Classic Enterprises, a forerunner in the field of 67-72 suspension mods.

There 'ya go....
Basically 'new' pieces vs. reworking the originals for the OE location.
