66 front shock numbers needed
I'm lowering the front with 2.5 inch spindles and 2 inch shocks. I need part numbers for 2 inch shorter front shocks. I also need to know if I need to use a shock relocator kit with only 2 inch springs. Thanx!

Re: 66 front shock numbers needed
I meant 2 inch springs. I googled it but only found the super high end stuff for almost 60 bux a pop.

Re: 66 front shock numbers needed
Look at this spread sheet:
 Since you only changed the springs to 2" drop coils, you did not change the compressed length of the shock unless you removed or cut the bump stop on the lower a-arm. If the final comppressed mounted length of the shock is 9.75" or more you can use KYB # 344068 Excel G or KYB# KG5409 Gas A Just shocks on the front.

Re: 66 front shock numbers needed
I will probably cut the bump stop about 3/4 of an inch. Thanks for the numbers!
