What is the benefit to the rear shock relocating? I thought it came in to play only when lowering?

The rear shock kit that I bought moves the shocks to the outside of the frame. When cornering u can tell a differance. Not near the body roll. I have removed my rear bar since the relocator was going to hit it. I was worried at first but now it's fine without it. Checkout the link.

Lowering your truck will improve handling also ' if you go with the cpp kit ask about their shocks , mine are a few months old and leak , i would not purchace them again , they leak bad

Just opinion from another Old Fart. I'm 6'-2" 275 Lbs.

With my 68 GMC SWB at stock ride height, I always had to pull myself up, using the steering wheel, onto the bench seat. Working under-hood I had to use a step stool and still could barely reach the carb on my V8, while laying over the radiator support, being stabbed in the belly by the hood latch.

NOW after a 2-1/2" front drop and 2 inch rear drop, working under hood is NICE, like working on a Chevelle, standing on the ground I can reach anything under-hood including the firewall. It's also really nice to simply open the door now and slide in, more like a full size car too.

Interesting!
