Re: My first build SAFETY ORANGE
Via http://djmsuspension.com/works/djm-flip-kits/
"Shocks just are not very effective if they are laid over nearly horizontal, some kits only require one shock to be “extended”. CALMAX SuperShox would be an excellent choice for shocks to optimize the ride with your flip kit. Having done that its time to test drive. Another good tip is to check the tightness of all bolts (including the axle U-bolts) after you have put a hundred so miles on your lowered truck." Last edited by JP238; 03-18-2014 at 02:30 PM. |

Re: My first build SAFETY ORANGE
hmm, i see what they are doing. the extender actually moves the bottom mount down and forwards. i suppose a person could go that route.
the holes are already in the truck to relocate the top of the shocks. i used these http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de...0962&ppt=C0035 and just stuck them in the factory rear hole in the factory top shock mount. although i did need new shocks anyway, and replaced them with a shorter one meant for a 70's corvette. i suppose if you have new or nice shocks already then that might not be as cost effective. im not fond of how much lower the new bottom shock mount would seem to hang down off the rearend though. looks kind of funny from behind. |
