That truck just went to a different/next level !!!!!!

**lolife99** · 08-02-2013, 06:17 AM

Did you use the rear shock relocators?
This will help your ride greatly!

19673ontree · 08-02-2013, 06:35 AM

No , the kit came with new shocks looks like polyurethane bushings on the shocks and sway bars but no relocators ? Got a pic of them ? Link to buy them ? I have not had a lowered truck since the 80s all these parts were not available then LOL in 1985 all I neede to lower my truck was to catch dad not looking and borrow his oxygen and acetylene tanks heated them springs till the rear end and front a frames were sitting nicely on the rubber bumpers LOL those were the days ,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Have you driven enough to know if you are going to have alignment issues?

Yes anytime you lower these trucks via the springs you have to realign the front end which I did as I was doing this job ,,

slow-1 · 08-02-2013, 06:19 PM

I knew you had to align them after they are lowered, just wondering if you had problems with the 3 inch drop spring, I had read other places that it was hard to get the alignment right with 3 inch drop springs.

that's not true , the front end of these trucks has plenty of room on the top a frame studs you can shim it out after lowering its not a problem ,,

and as for wheels and tires these are the stock steel wheels 15 x 6 ? I guess and my tires are 235 75 15's all around ,,

**70cst** · 08-02-2013, 09:56 PM

Very impressive

ksshane · 08-02-2013, 10:35 AM

Really diggin the look of your truck. Looks great

jhama78 · 08-02-2013, 11:26 AM

Looks killer man, what size tires/wheels? Stock drums all around? Thanks for the info.

original-71 · 08-02-2013, 11:57 AM

nice

Andy4639 · 08-03-2013, 11:51 AM

I would suggest these for the rear shocks. 'No Limits' kit for the rear + they help the handling also by moving them further out on to the axle. My 71 rides great. I bought there shocks to when I ordered the kit.

Truck looks killer with the lower stance!
