.....since they dont make drag shocks for our trucks anybody know what front car shock would interchange with 67-72 1/2 ton?

HvyChevy454 · 09-23-2002, 07:13 PM

i think they do check with MotherTruckers or over in the Suspension forum i saw a post over there where i believe he said he had em.

mooneyes · 09-23-2002, 07:44 PM

mooneyes · 09-24-2002, 08:25 PM

oh no....... first the answer........ then the pic......cause once i post a pic of angel then everybody forgets about my shock question......lol

MOTHERTRUCKERS · 09-24-2002, 08:56 PM

Measure your shock with all the weight on it then jack it up at the crossmember till the wheels are off the ground and measure the extended shock and e-mail the measurements to me and i'll match you up, we have 90/10-80/20 and 60/40 for the front and 70/30-60/40 and 50/50 for the rear in a decent priced shock besides the coilovers.

mooneyes · 09-25-2002, 08:19 PM

the measurements are 12 3/8" and 14 1/4" most gm cars have a stud at the top instead of a bolt someone once said they thought some mopar would work......ill be looking for 90/10 fronts ......looked on your site but did not see any shocks at all...you hiding them?......lol...thanks for checking for me...

mooneyes · 09-25-2002, 08:21 PM

oops you said e-mail them to ya doing that now

mooneyes · 09-26-2002, 07:38 PM

....ok anybody else? how about just the name of a car with eye bolt to eye bolt shocks in the front,

ChopTop · 09-26-2002, 08:59 PM

Try checkin on Doetch Tech's, they offer an adjustable shock, It is a stock mount clicker-shock, adjusts from 50/50 to 40/60 and so on.

mooneyes · 09-27-2002, 09:29 PM

they have a website? searched it ,,but came up empty

Johngear67 · 09-28-2002, 12:11 AM

can't help but sure would like to see just what you come up with
good luck

I know of only one carrier in my area. Day Motorsports in Texas, they carry the product line, your application may be a little out of their ordinary routine, but I bet they will find it for you. Day has great prices on DoetchTech Shocks.

MOTHERTRUCKERS · 09-28-2002, 09:23 AM

The information I e-mailed you is from COMPETITION ENGINEERING, 3 way adjustable. No 90/10 only 70/30 in that length and style. The only 2 options is to get top stud shocks and screw a HEIM or sphericle rod end to it to get the top eye OR take the shock stud out of the frame and weld/bolt a gusseted perch (looks like your core and cab frame perches) to the frame. Then any top stud / lower eye shock will work.

mooneyes · 09-28-2002, 04:30 PM

thanks mothertruckers i like the heim joint idea...i think that would work great
