CPP rear shock relocation brackets - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Selfish question... I bought a CPP rear shock relocation kits and was planning to install... I have sandblasted and freshly painted my chassis... but I forgot to grind the rivots to remove to old upper shock brackets. I know I can go back and do it (even though I hate to), but the question is... do the shock relocation brackets make that big of a difference? Are they worth it?

thanks as always guys.

I think you'll want them. it will certainly help the ride. you could wait and see what angle the shocks are when its lower and on the ground.

You want them.

Thats the same drop I have in my 69 GMC Short bed, The shocks are not effective at all leaving them stock. The Shock relocator kit is a must if you want any shock damping at all. The difference is night and day.

Would you advise the same need for the brackets on a leaf spring truck with a flip kit?
