Shock Mount Question
Just removed my shocks last night and I'm planning on removing the springs in the next week.
I'm going with 5 inch drop springs in the rear and I was wondering if I get shock relocators, do I purchase the stock shocks? Does this kit allow me to run stock shocks? Truck arms in the rear, btw.

Re: Shock Mount Question
I would contact the supplier and ask what they recommend for the specific kit. My guess wih 5" you would want a shorter shock. Most relocators help the working angle.

Re: Shock Mount Question
Most shock relocators simply improve the angle the shocks set to improve the performance. Angled shocks are less efficient than ones with the proper angle.
You can adjust the needed shock length with the relocators but the distance will have to be calculated from the compressed length and extended length.
