Which Doetch Techs Do I Need? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

8t5Silverado · 03-13-2004, 01:06 PM

I am getting Western Chassis 2.5 spindles and 1.5 drop coils for the front.

And a 5" flip kit in the rear.

Which Doetch Tech shocks do I need? Part numbers would be great.

For the front: ?

For the rear: 4163G (3/4) or 4095G (5)
Are these correct?

Thanks.

anyone?

TIMSPEED · 03-15-2004, 03:37 PM

you'll need the same ones I got...4052G for the front, and 4095G with shock extenders for the rear. Order them from summit racing, and you'll be good to go.

8t5Silverado · 03-15-2004, 08:06 PM

I saw in your sticky that you said to get 4095G, but it describes more than a 5" drop (I thought you had a 5" flip).

I do need extenders with a 5" flip kit?

You need extenders with any flip kit. Also, the 4095 works with the flip kit, and shackle (if you go 7")

Do you know the part number for the shock extender for the rear?

8t5Silverado · 03-17-2004, 12:21 PM

I would like to order these today so that I can possibly have them by the weekend.

Tim,

This is what Doetsch Tech shows on their website. I am assuming this is incomplete or incorrect.

Compare the shocks on Macs Springs Web site. It tells you what shocks for what drop and how it was dropped.

8t5Silverado · 03-18-2004, 06:51 PM

toytruck,

Macsspring.com shows that a 5" flip doesn't need a shock extender. So I am confused.

I guess I don't need one, but it will work with one.

Either way, I can't find the part number for the shock extender. Anyone know it.

I am going to search some more.

From DJM's website...

SE1124 1973-1987 C10 Shock Extenders 62.44

8t5Silverado · 03-18-2004, 07:21 PM

Thanks Low87,

I had been looking at Western Chassis stuff only. It didn't even occur to me to think that other companies' stuff would work.

I didn't think they would be that much.

Did you need these for your 5" flip?

Low87on20s · 03-18-2004, 07:27 PM

Yes, they came with the flip kit. I was given shorter shocks to begin with(don't recall the #s), and I did have to install the kit without the shock extenders because the shocks wouldn't extend out far enough to bolt up. I got the correct shocks(don't recall the #s either) and then installed the extenders as designed.

Here they are for Chevy C10. http://www.macsspring.com/Merchant2/...duct_Code=2004
