rear shock relocation specs needed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have bought some of the brackets that mount on the trailing arms to relocate my rear shocks. Do I have to relocate my upper brackets and if so to where. I need measurements please. I bought these from another not the manufacturer, I think they are cpp brand. thanks in advance, Chuck.

I modify stock brackets much like the aftermarket 'relocation' set-ups. I get about 1.5" difference top & bottom for 3" total so..... using lower brackets only will get you about 1.5" of shock travel back. You don't have to relocate the uppers, but not doing so results in less shock travel (which you may or may not need).
