Rear Shock Relocation for Stock Height - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**cwcarpenter98** · 03-02-2022, 06:35 PM

So I like the way this rear shock relocation was done by Frizzle_Fry http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...05&post4730005

My question is, has anyone done this with a stock height truck, and how has it worked for you? Were you able to use the factory rear shock, or did you need to change shocks?
Again, I'm keeping my truck at stock height, so I'm wondering if it's worth the effort or only good for lowered trucks.

It's worth the effort.

Thanks, Scoti.

I won't be able to start on it until the summer, but I'll report on how it goes then

I used the no limit.net shock relocate kit on a stock height 66. You have to get taller shocks, but it cleans up rear and makes exhaust routing easier. It’s similar in function to what you referenced

Did you notice any difference between stock and relocated characteristics?

I never had the chance to drive it before I installed it. No limit.net site lays out all the virtues, It really cleaned up space for exhaust
