The little tab locates itself in the hole where the original shock stud was located.

Hope that helps.

I just drilled in my Porterbuilt front shock brackets. Looks very similar to yours.

fastcam1 · 11-05-2012, 08:04 PM

Thanks for the reply! I just finished drilling the first one in.

noticed you have firestone lookin bags in there, nothing wrong with them at all, i love them, but as a heads up they ride a bit soft, like cadi soft. when you get your truck running, and by the looks of the calipers if you want to really get her sideways the slam bags are similiar specs but ride is much firmer.

Twiztid_66c10 · 11-08-2012, 05:02 PM

Help me out here guys - how does the shock mount to the brackets? The does the eye unscrew from the top of the shock or something? The stock stud type mount is what I'm used to seeing.

big_al_71 · 11-11-2012, 05:38 PM

hope this helps...as far as the shocks question..

It uses a different style shock. Not the eye to eye that its used from the factory.

Thanks. Are front shock relocators available for the eye type shocks? Are they needed?

Sorry to ask question on your thread, will your fender wells need to be modified to use these how about everyone else who are using this same style can you all comment on this?

I made a set of front shock mounts out of some S/S we had laying around. I use stock length shocks up front. I had to trim the inner fender just a small amount for them to work. Cost $0.00 well except for my time. I've had them now almost 5 years on the truck.

The only modification we did was slightly bent the inner so that the shock would clear you cant even noticed it..

Do tell. Do you have a review on your transaction? I have not heard bad about them until now, but like to stay in the know. CPP also has the same relocators, but for less coin...
