Stock shocks?
Hello,
I am putting a 1" drop on the front and 3" on the rear. Just got the springs delivered and will be putting them in this weekend. My question is do I use the stock shock lengths or does that require special shocks? I get conflicting info when I search. LMC says I don't but Brothers says yes. Thank you for the help. whoops... forgot to mention it's a '69 C10 2wd. I am putting an aluminum LS in. Keeping drum brakes (for now) Last edited by danpomeroy; 04-30-2015 at 12:54 PM. Reason: forgot specs. |

Re: Stock shocks?
No for the fronts.
Relocated rear mounts will help keep geometry & travel like stock.

Re: Stock shocks?
Yes. That's one of the benefits of relocated stock/aftermarket brackets. You utilize off the shelf replacement shocks designed/spec'd for a C10.
