shock extension(hyperextension?)
hey gentlemen, i will start by saying i am not the one who put these shocks on..
im just the one paying the price (reffer to my build thread for all "repairs" that i have repaired...) so my fronts WERE dual shock, remobed brackets and brought it down to single shocks.. my spine was hurting perod.... everthing was like driving on brick suspension and bare rims... so now.. the ride was much smoother.. but my rear likes to "dance" alot.. too much.. so here i was installing new exhaust hangers and i have noticed my rear shocks seem to be fully extended at rest in the driveway. now this MIGHT be my fault due to me changing to 14bolts in the rear from a corp 10, but skyjacker diddnt list a different partnumber between the two k series trucks (unless im blind) so.. i am assuming i have the incorrect shock installed on the rear so the solution is? 1/ bring bolt holes down on the frame for my shock and "raise" the shock bracket on the axle... or buy longer shocks.. now.. my wife will freak if i dont describe this correctly to her.. and just go buy new parts off a whim what do you think i should do? moving both peices can gain me at least 4 inches (derived/assumed from basic measurements) i can weld (not frizzleFry style but like 4yr old fingerpaints) good and strong let me know what your input is.. what one would you do? and i do respect your opinions and professional input. thanks!
