Re: CPP Rear Shock Crossmember thoughts?

The CPP shock relocation kit will change the shock location/angle. Which is what you mention:

This is what I used on stock crossmember.

It appears the crossmember might be only window dressing. I can't find anything saying what it might change or improve.

According to the question on Summit's site it doesn't give you any increase in shock length. If that is true I would replace the stock mounts with some easy DIY mounts and put that $130 into the shock budget.
Here is a link to how I did mine. Starting on post 517.

Good call. I keep seeing these shock relocation brackets, and they look pretty basic, so I was looking for another route. Looking at your thread, and the OG thread I think I will make my own.

Thanks for the reply. Those are the relocation kits I keep seeing as well. Looks like I'll be making my own.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: CPP Rear Shock Crossmember thoughts?

CPP's set-up is great if you're missing the shock x-member or if it has structural issues. If there's nothing wrong w/the x-member, I would go home-made if possible or do No Limits rear shock relocation.

If you can do your own fab work, this would be a good way to go....
