Re: Rear shock relocaion position ???

I would if it wasn't dark and rainy. I have used Early Classic Enterprises shock relocators on my '69, which is lowered 4-inches with coil springs. It also has an adjustable panhard rod (track bar). Another member may have a picture before I can post one.

The upper bracket is hard to see, but you can tell the difference in the angle of the shock when compared to the one posted above.

Re: Rear shock relocation position ???

I put my relocators on my 72 and the shock doesn't line up properly. The bottom bolt wants to go in crooked. Anyone else have this problem? Sorry not trying to hijack, just have a similar question.
