What else do I need? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

au03z71 · 02-02-2009, 04:24 PM

I've got 4 bags, eight 3/8" SMC valves, tank, compressor, fittings, and switchbox coming for the 72. Other than line, mounting brackets for front, and c-notch, what else do I need? Drop spindles? New Panhard Bar? I saw something about a shock relocator kit, will I need this?

4Ga For the compresor, Really?

au03z71 · 02-02-2009, 08:50 PM

What about the shock relocator kit?

edflores · 02-02-2009, 10:00 PM

sorry. i meant 8ga.

Yes,... shock relocators shorter shocks front and rear, and an adjustable track bar (panhard bar)
I suggest looking at Early Classic Enterprises (ECE) for all of the above items.

Cool thanks for all the input.

You're gonna want blocks too. Get your shocks at PepBoys and save some cash. Do the cheap blue Monroes- same thing ART uses without the cool sticker and inflated pricing...

Do you have the model of those shocks? Also, what size blocks?

gringoloco · 02-03-2009, 03:36 PM

You will want the 2" lowering blocks. This will give you a good ride height while still allowing for some decent pressure in the bags= better ride quality. It will also bury you in the notch when aired-out.

Shocks:

Front- Monroe 33033
Rear- Monroe 32301

The rear shock selection assumes you are using shock relocators and 2" blocks. Deviating from this recipe may cause the shocks to bottom out. Don't pay more than $20 each for them or you're getting ripped off...

Most people use 2" drop blocks....there are several board members including ECE that sell them...just make sure you get the longer U-bolts with them. They basically allow you to ride with more air in the bags for a better ride.

Thanks for the part #s on the shocks I was lookign for those...

texastrendz · 02-03-2009, 07:40 PM

ya need to start bolting stuff on, ha ha, just kiddin, good luck on the total install.

I looked these up on google and a place called rockauto sells them on evilbay for 18.99 plus shipping. The question I have is they show an application on the rear as stock for a 69 chevy pickup. Are we using a stock shock because of the relocators and blocks?

**lolife99** · 02-03-2009, 10:07 PM

If that's correct they are too long.

BUMP. This would be good to know

gringoloco · 02-04-2009, 06:45 PM

The 33033s are listed as stock replacements as well, but they are definitely short enough. I dunno?

We just installed the 32301s on a buddy's '65 C10 with RE7s, relocators, and 2" blocks. Worked perfectly. I have a set on the shelf awaiting install on my '70 C10, similarly equipped. My measurements say they will work.

There should be just over 12" between the relocator's mounting eyes out back when aired-out. The 32301s are 11.875" compressed.

Best bet is to measure for your individual needs. Very rarely do I trust the internet without verifying for myself- been burned a few times on that deal- trucks and individual results may vary...

**lolife99** · 02-05-2009, 10:02 AM

Here's a good list of front and rear shocks off of CPP's website.

Thanks for the info!

**lolife99** · 02-05-2009, 08:36 PM

The KYB's that ECE sells for their 6" rear drop are part # 344067. I saved the end off of the box.
Does anyone have the actual part number for the dropped KYB's that ECE uses up front?

CPP lists them as #KYM1200G off of the above list I posted. I need the real part number.
