[crazy longhorn]

when it comes to shocks, 'bottom out" isnt always the issue. The shocks need to be relocated, or go shorter to keep them in the center of their travel. I have custom brackets on the front of my longhorn with a cut coil drop(1 full ring). I agree, that the shocks would not bottom before the steer stop hit the corner of the crossmember, but they wouldnt work properly as a stock lengh shock with more than about 2" of drop. The rears are a different "animal".......when you drop, the shocks "lay down", & need to be stood back up to be effective. I have a good ride with a 3/5 budget drop, & stock shocks& relocators(both ends)& the rears have been moved back on the top to stand the shocks back up. With a 1 1/2" body drop on top of that, the old longhorn looks lower than a shortbased truck(just cause it so d@mn loooong).......crazyL
