Which drop shocks?
So I need to order a set of drop shocks for the rear suspension. I'm running 2" blocks and 2500 bags on the stock trailing arms with a c notch, so which size shocks do I need 2-5" drop?

Re: Which drop shocks?
I also have the ECE shock relocators. My guess would be 5" drop shocks just wanting confirm before ordering

Re: Which drop shocks?
FYI most companies part numbers for the rear drop shock is the same number for a front stock shock. Check CPP's catalog and you will see that their rear drop shock is the exact same part number as a front stock shock. I myself always run stock front shocks as rear drop shocks. Hope this saves you some money.

Re: Which drop shocks?
When we dropped my '69, I ordered the KYB's.
I've been trying to get an answer on here about my '96, but nobody had any input. So, I went to the KYB website (www.kyb.com) and found that they list a specific shock for the 2/4 drop on it. Nice info. Easy to use site. Check 'em out. But, never let anyone try to convince you that leaf spring suspensions ride quality is as good a the '67-72's with their trailing arm suspension and coils. It ain't true!
