Rear shock relocation

[SCOTI]

The next question would be what amount of drop do you use for ordering shocks with this relocation done??

BB70c10 I am just trying to get my chassis done for the autorama in Feb and will not have my body on for some months. Hopefully this summer though. I will post some picts when it is done though.

Mine is dropped about 7~8" in the rear. The top of the axle housing sits inside the framerail & the 'pumpkin' just pokes through the bed-floor @ ride height. I have lowering blocks as well so that helps too. With the amount of drop listed, I used off the shelf Gabriel HD gas shocks for 67-72's (didn't need shorter length 'drop' shocks).
