Rear Shock Angle Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

thepunisher · 04-03-2010, 04:20 PM

The rear shocks on my truck were flipped around to the back side of the differential. I was unable to get the shock mounts off of the differential in a way that I could reuse them. My plan is to purchase universal weld on mounts. One issue that came up when I was talking to my brother about this was the angle of the shock. I figured I would bolt the shocks to the frame mounts and then the universal mount and just line it up and tack the mount into place. Is there a specific angle that the shock should be at or does my approach seem reasonable?
