Rear Hatch Gas Shock Conversion?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

DeBattista · 08-02-2018, 01:08 AM

Has anyone done it by piecing together the parts like the suburban guys do? I know the shocks for the suburban will be considerably longer, however the parts breakdown given in the thread in the suburban forum is no more than $50-$60. So I can't see paying 3X that for the Motor City K5 Kit being it looks like a couple of plates with ball studs and a couple of gas shocks. Just curious if anyone had done it themselves (by sourcing their own parts) with any success and obviously if you could provide some pointers or PN to shocks that would be needed. Thanks.
