Help with lowering shock part numbers
Trying to order up shocks for a 1972 C10 we are lowering.
Truck is going to be built with: - Front is 2.5" drop spindles with 1.0" drop springs. - Rear is 4.0" drop springs Shocks I am looking at Front: CPP-4809G Rear: CPP-4052G Are these the correct shocks we need? Thanks. |

Re: Help with lowering shock part numbers
Simple answer. Stock length shocks will work fine in you application.

For the rear w/a 4" shorter coil, I would relocate & mod the brackets to run a stock length shock: https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=437582 An alternative if you want to spend a little to improve shock functionality is to move the rear shocks outboard of the frame & improve the installed shock angle even more vs the previous DIY method above: https://nolimit.net/store/Dropped-Sh...unts-p26244502 Always keep in mind, the shorter the shock, the less functionality there is within that reduced travel. You always want to run the longest stroke shock possible. So, if you can stick w/the OE specs, do it.

Basically 'new' pieces vs. reworking the originals for the OE location.
