I want to relocate the front shocks on my truck while I'm doing a complete suspension overhaul. I have three inch drop springs and cut the bumpstopsbon the control arms. I don't want drop shocks and been looking into some bilsteins
Found the kit above and am wondering if this will also fit the square body 73-87 since what I hear is the same basic suspension setup.
Kit looks like it provides more usable shock travel and better angle

Hmm well then I will maybe get those and call hotchkis and ask what the part number for the shock they have in thier kit

On a side note seems like hotchkis likes thier stuff to much to price it to sell
