does anyone have brands and part number for front and rear lowered shocks
thanks!!!!

Kinda depends on how much and it's lowered and how it's done. Check with Stylin' Trucks' or Summit's tech line.

I run a lot of the Summit brand Sport Truck shocks on my trucks. They are Doestsch Tech brand shocks sold in a generic box.

Anyone have the KYB part numbers so I can use my wholesale discount and get them from Advance Auto? I have a 5/7 drop with spindles and springs up front and a flip kit in the rear. Thanks ahead of time.

It's been awhile but I use to use the rear shocks for the 80's-93 s-10's they are the right hieght and rode very good. I was dropped 5" in the front.

STOCKISH · 11-05-2009, 10:01 AM

Someone has part numbers. Help a brother out.

Tony_SS · 11-05-2009, 07:00 PM

Thats awesome. I would also like numbers for 73-87 trucks. Everything I read is different for the rears. Tony, how about some Bilstein part numbers?

82stepside · 11-06-2009, 07:53 PM

Id like to know kyb part numbers for a 4/4 drop on my 82. Had those on before my drop... The Belltech ones i bought with my kit have about a bound and a half of compressed rebound, and i never liked them. Cant wait to justify replacing them! Maybe ill try and find some with with less rebound resistance, see if i can get the weight to transfer to the rear tires up on launch...
