helping a friend out with his shocks - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a friend who has the 73-87 body style truck with 3" drop coils up front. He's got the stock shocks on and they are bottoming out. Should he get different shocks or shock extenders? Can you provide either part numbers for the lowered shocks or a place to buy the shock extenders?

Thanks for your help!

Do you have a part number for use with a 3" drop coil?

I would stay away from Toxic. Ive never read a good thing about them. Belltech, Doestch tech, Bilstein, KYB, Monroe are all good brands.
