Re: Static drop question

Yes I would say you need them on the front. Mine was around 3ish on the front with cut coils and the shocks would bottom out. I've also heard you can run some 1950 Chrysler Imperial shocks as they are a couple inches shorter.

I haven't gotten around to making relocators but I think it should be feasible and cheaper to do. Can anyone post up pics of some homemade ones?

I believe he's talking about shock replicators which would allow you to run 2+ shocks instead of just one on each corner, not just moving the mounts.
