Which shocks work best on lowered trucks?
I'm going to be lowering my 72 C10 about 3.5 inches up front (2.5" spindle, 1" coil) and 6 inches out back (5" coil 1" blocks). Which shock set up are you using or would you recommend? Thanks.

I'm happy with my KYB's from Early Classic, you can get them in a kit with the shock relocators for around $200.

Re: Which shocks work best on lowered trucks?
just got done bolting mine on, nice kit , bolted right in after cutting out the shockmount rivits. I HATE CUTTING OUT 3/8" RIVITS but you only have four to deal with.

Re: Which shocks work best on lowered trucks?
I'm using Belltech Nitroactive w/ relocators. They're a heck of a lot better than what was on the truck when I bought it. Are they good shocks? I don't know, they're the only ones I've tried, but I have no complaints.
