Lowered shocks or not ?
I am currently running with 3" drop spindles, Moog 6454 springs with one coil cut off and lowered front shocks but the shocks look like they are too short, Pulling down on the bottom eyelet .
Do I need to fit standard shocks with this set up ? |

Re: Lowered shocks or not ?
The simple answer is maybe, but seriously I’ll explain and I’m only talking about length not ride quality. Ignore the drop spindle as it doesn’t affect shock travel. Now with a stock spring 100% stock shock but you’re not stock spring. Now if you have not trimmed the bump stops you’ll be fine with a stock shock but could possibly get better response with a closer fit to length shock extended and collapsed.

Re: Lowered shocks or not ?
You may purchase or fab one of these for an option of a longer (stock like) shock.

Re: Lowered shocks or not ?
Irrespective of drop or lift. Shocks like to be at there mid point at ride height for optimal performance.
Summit has a list of shocks by height, and stoke. If you ever end up in a position like this again. This is how I will buy shocks for my G10 van since everything is so moved around. In this case use the adapters people pointed out. Keeps shock selection easy if you end up somewhere with a dead shock. I am using extenders on the rear of my silverado, and they work great. |
