Opinion's...shocks
OK,
here is the deal. I have the lowered shocks but still in the factory position. Stock mounts. I have the air bags inside the lowered springs with pan bar and rear sway bar. Question 1: What if I just take the shocks off completely? What would I loose that would effect the truck and the safety of it. Right now it doesn't have much of effect on the handling that I can tell because of the angle of them so what do I need them for? The air bags give it the bounce and softness after a bump. Question 2: Has anybody seen the old shock relocator kit that moves them out to the end of the trailing arms? If so can you give me a link are info on it. I been looking at redoing the shock mounts but just can't see anything that would work right. Pictures welcomed on relocating the shocks weather it's a kit or your own way.

Re: Opinion's...shocks
Shocks are there to dampen the bumps not give it bounce.
You gotta have them. No limit here sells the relocators you ask about.

Thanks, I called them and ordered it with shocks! Takes about 9 days she said to get it. That's OK though I know now in a couple of weeks my truck will be riding right. I'll take plenty of pictures when I do it.

Re: Opinion's...shocks
I ordered the No limit relocator kit today. Hope to get it installed in a couple of weeks. They said it wouldn't ship until next week sometime.
