Got Shocks........? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Bigtyme · 02-23-2003, 04:16 PM

I just did a 5/7 Drop 3" spindles and 2" drop springs in front

Flip Kit and hangers in back all DJM parts..........The shocks are

bottoming out I know I need to change them out any

suggestions on a brand that would go good with that much of a

drop ? Also how do I go about ordering them? Do all they need

to is how much I dropped it ?

Thanks,
Martin

For the rear get shock extenders. They allow you to use stock shocks, much easier to replace. I love mine from western chassie. Up front I used toxic shocks, they are very nice also

Doetsch Tech's are the best for the money.

My DJM 5" Flip Kit included the shock extenders, didn't yours? With the shock extenters you can buy the Edelbrock IAS Performer shocks @ $69.95 each.
