Where to Get KYB GR-2's - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**KyleSeal** · 12-02-2014, 05:31 PM

Looking to get some GR-2's for my 5in dropped rear. I checked ECE, $25 ship so I wasn't really feeling like paying over $100 in total. I have the part # from Twisted78SS's post a few years back, my question is, where do I search those numbers to get the shocks?

Does not look like the numbers are any good any more.

Does there happen to be a more recent thread that has the new numbers?

How's this? http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=579288

I just picked up a full set for $18-19 each on Amazon with free shipping.

clemsonteg, do you have the link to the drop shocks, and just to be sure we're on the same page - they're for a 5in rear drop (spring, trailing arm)?

I used the part numbers in the link I posted. They reference Nate's Blank Slate build which is an ECE 4.5/6 drop. ECE's site only lists one set of GR-2 (now Excel-G) shocks, so I went with it.

For some reason the Amazon link doesn't work, so is this the one you meant to post? Sorry for so many questions. Just making sure before I hit buy.

I got mine for a K20/for 12-14/a piece on rock auto. It was clearance.

You are going to need a set of shock relocators so don't forget those.
