Help with finding Brothers 3" front drop shock - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

AJLChase · 08-15-2011, 04:59 PM

I ordered a few items from Brothers at the end of spring and most if not all of my items were back ordered. They did how ever manage to send me 1 front 3" shock that I've already modified to fit and have it installed. I called today and they still don't have anymore in. I can't get my truck off the jacks till I get a shock. Anyone know who else carries this exact shock? Or if anything, something suitable that I can paint to match?

Brothers rep said that the specs were 9" collapsed and 13" extended.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

P.s....I don't think I'll ever order from these guys. I've seen too many other negative posts about them.

if you take the measurements of the shock// speedway motors has dimensions listed on the streetrod shocks they sell

IIRC, the stock front shocks are 9 3/4/13 1/2.....I just built my relocators, & run stock shocks on both ends. If you shop around, you can purchase shock relocators pretty cheap....if you dont want to fab your own. crazyL

I actually went to speedway motors today and picked up some shocks from there. Looked almost identical to what Brothers was selling except it had a 9.5 collapsed length and 14.5 extended length. I got two shocks for the price of 1 brother shock. Thanks for the tip!
