Monroe Sensa-Trac for flip - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sKnNyPpY · 03-25-2013, 02:14 PM

Hi guys, I've done the clicking and ran out of answers, so here goes: I'm putting the DJM flip kit on the rear of my '71 with 2.25 leafs and have decided to go with the Monroe Sensa-Tracs listed for the front as 'drop shocks'. There are two kinds available 37049 and 58241 for hauling and towing.
The hauling and towing ones are about 18 bucks cheaper for a pair and have extended bumper stops, but I'd have to order them. The only difference (I can tell) besides about .25 inch less travel is the upper mount L1/CP3 (towing) vs L1/CP5 which I have no idea about the difference.

Any input would be appreciated. I have some 20718 HD gas charged that I was going to use but probably return, as I put those on the front and am bouncing around, but that could be other issues.

THANKS!

What did you do about the "layed down angle" of the shocks after installing the flip kit?

Shock angle seems ok, but I think they may be too short? I'm in the dirt. Please see the other thread you replied too. Thanks
