Correct shock length question? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

rmvlt1100 · 03-16-2013, 12:20 AM

Hello all, I'm starting to reassemble the truck and need front shocks. Can any tell me the best way to measure for the correct length shock? Or does any one have the correct size they used and the best ones to use? The truck has Early Classic 2 1/2 inch drop spindles with air bags. Any help would be great.
Thanks Robert.

I would use a shock for a 3" drop spring.
Belltech or Early Classic Enterprises KYB shocks.

Thanks for the info. I just checked Early Classic for the shocks and they only show a 2" drop. I will also check Belltech web site. Again thanks for the info.
