lowering question

I am planning on installing a rear lowering kit from early classic coils shocks tracking bar and shock relocators.

Will I need to remove the bed or is that going to far?

Re: lowering question

You don't need to remove the bed.

If you were thinking of doing it anyway, it may help with removing the original upper rear shock brackets, but it is not necessary

Re: lowering question

As Joe said, there's no need to remove the bed. You'd prolly spend more time doing that than the time it would take you to do the shock relocators. If you have air tools, my tip is this: use a cut-off wheel and cut crosses in the heads of the rivets. Then use an air hammer w/ a flat chisel bit and pop them off. After that, I use a bull point bit in the air hammer and knock out the rest of the rivet. Pretty quick and easy. Or you can always torch them out. I like the chisel method cuz I don't have a torch. heheh.
