Front Shock Relocator
Anyone know of a front shock relocator for the 73-87 trucks? I lowered my truck a bit more and the QA1 shocks I have don't have enough travel. I don't want to buy new shocks and shorter ones would limit the full suspension travel. Air Ride technologies provides a new shock bracket for their cool ride kit, but I don't know if they sell the bracket separately. Thanks

Re: Front Shock Relocator
check speedway motors they have different shock mounts that maybe you could use

Re: Front Shock Relocator

Re: Front Shock Relocator
How much more travel do you need? I made my own for cheap . . ....

Re: Front Shock Relocator
ART sells these which are very similar. I bolted mine as high as I could get them on the frame. I gained 1.5" IIRC . . ....

Re: Front Shock Relocator
No I don't. Look up their brackets & it should be easy enough to find. I believe they were $10 @ ART. I made mine from .250" wall 2" mild steel square tubing that I had in the garage.
