what drop shocks w/ 5" rear drop springs?
I've used 5 inch rear drop springs, and now I'm getting around to do it right. I've got a shock relocation kit and adjustable panhard bar on the way already, just wondering which drop shocks to use. Any body got suggestions?

Stock if you're using relocaters.

I use the 344055 KYB shocks. Return the shock relocation kit. You don't need it. Just take your left side lower shock mount and put it on the right side and vise versa.

Reason behind relocating? I havent done a drop yet and interested in requirements to make a 5-6" drop work.

If you can get me a measurement at ride height from the center of the bottom mounting point to the center of the top mounting point, I can figure out exactly what stroke you need.

If you look up robs make it handle thread he list the shocks you need. I cant rember which page it is on. With his relocator kit and panhard kit,and cheap monore shocks It rides great even with a 6 in drop from air bags. His relocator kit mounts the shocks behind the rearend and outboard the frame.This way you have along shock to work properly with even more travel than a short lower shock can provide.
