Always use protection! CPP'S simple upgrade to eliminate shock stud failure, - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*CPPJEFF* · 01-18-2010, 01:18 PM

Guys here is another example of a subtle upgrade that makes a world of difference with protecting your investment. A common problem with these trucks is the factory shock studs pull through especially on a truck that has been lowered, these are a must have!! For board members i will give you guys a set for $25.00 and they are a no brainer.

$25 shipped?

Yes we sure do. Thanks

I've seen these before. Why do the stock mounts holes tend to fail on lowered trucks?

The factory located the chock in such a way that that as the suspension is compressed (lowered) the shock becomes angled relative to the mounting stud. This angle results in a bending moment on the upper shock stud. Most lowered length shocks are valved stiffer than the OE length to compensate for the shorter suspension travel available because of the lowered ride height.

These brackets are very similar to the OE brackets used on some of the 4 wheel drive trucks. I guess GM figured out the stud was not attached very well but only fixed the problem on 4x4’s.

I need replacements for my 4x4. Do your bolt holes line up with the frames OE rivet holes?

**leddzepp** · 01-20-2010, 12:22 PM

Hey Jeff- I already have 1 mounting stud missing from my frame (as pictured) Do you carry an OEM-type replacement stud? If so, I'd like to get a set of these brackets and a new stud as well. Thanks.

Yes we have a replacment stud. I have made repairs like you need. Simply bolt the new stud to a heavy washer, bolt on the new bracket and weld the washer to the frame.
