Shocks help asap

I am wanting to buy shock and relocators where needed. I got 3 front and 4 rear drop springs when I got my 68 new in box. I need to know the best price and quality on the whole deal as far as shocks and relocators go. Please let me know cause I've hit several road blocks....Mikey

If it helps it's a SWB 1/2 ton stepper with a 454 up front......Mikey

Re: Shocks help asap

I believe Early Classic has them for 179 with rear relocators. The shocks are KYB GR2 adjustables. Or you can got to your local auto parts store and get some shocks and then get the rear relocators at Early Classic for 59.

Edit: I am in the process of doing this now for my 2/4 drop. I got the Gabriel Ultra front and Gabriel Pro rear from Autozone. I believe they totaled 90 or so for the 4 of them.

Re: Shocks help asap

That's cool. Would you/anyone have any part numbers available so that I can order online? I am new to all this and want to get the right parts the first time. 3 inch front and 4 inch rear both springs and I am in need of part numbers for springs and relocators. All preferably from the same company for easier purchasing.....Mikey

Re: Shocks help asap

I'm not sure you need different shocks for that amount of drop. I'm sure it would help, but a 3/4 drop isn't that much relatively speaking.
