Stock shocks?

Hello,

I am putting a 1" drop on the front and 3" on the rear. Just got the springs delivered and will be putting them in this weekend.

My question is do I use the stock shock lengths or does that require special shocks? I get conflicting info when I search. LMC says I don't but Brothers says yes.

Thank you for the help.

whoops... forgot to mention it's a '69 C10 2wd. I am putting an aluminum LS in. Keeping drum brakes (for now)

No for the fronts.

Relocated rear mounts will help keep geometry & travel like stock.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Thank you for the info.

If I relocate the rears can I use stock?

Yes. That's one of the benefits of relocated stock/aftermarket brackets. You utilize off the shelf replacement shocks designed/spec'd for a C10.
