shock relocators ?

[brans72]

I was wondering will using shock relocaters raise truck any when using jeep tj springs? I ask cause I wanna cut my front springs for now but not sure if I need the relocaters before I cut front spring. I am also using new KYB Shocks and truck is a 67 C10 SWB 350/700r4. Brandon

Anytime you use shorter springs in the rear on coil trucks, you'll benefit from the shock 'relocators' as they will restore travel length for the shock & return it to a better (more upright) angle allowing the shock to 'work' properly.

That being said, it's not mandatory to use the relocators. You can always do the drop & see how things work as is (measure the travel dimensions @ ride height). If the dimensions indicate the need to change the shock travel, get the relocators then.
