Re: Help I lowered my 71 Cheyenne 3/5 and need help with shocks

The key for the rear shocks on LEAF spring trucks with a flip kit,... is to try and stand up the rear shocks at a better angle.
There is no bolt on part for this as far as I know.
I have heard of some members re-drilling the upper shock mount and moving the upper shock stud to the new hole.
The other optionis to grind out the upper shock mount rivets and move the entire mount.

If you don't address the shock angle,... the shocks lay too flat, and just pivot on the mounts,... instead of compressing the shock.
