Re: With shock relocators and without.
I lowered mine 3/5 and haven't relocated the shocks yet. Its only been on butter smooth roads so its been ok. I know that I'll have to relocate them to get the 3" (2 inches was from blocks) loss back and to fix the lean in. I read a thread that stated that they will not work correctly at 30º or more. I am in the midst of modifying some shock brackets like member Scoti did.

Re: With shock relocators and without.
Want to know as well. I have 5" springs with 1" blocks out back and the shocks are laying over pretty far. I have the relocators just haven't put them in yet. If I do anytime soon I will post the results. Right now the ride is ok but the axle does hit the bump stops on moderate to heavy bumps. Hope that will stop once I install the shock relocators so I don't have to c-notch.

Re: With shock relocators and without.
I has the same bumpstop problem and trimmed them so they were a 1/4" lower than the frame (to protect the frame) and now no more bottoming.

Re: With shock relocators and without.
My truck will be on air bags with 2.5 drop spindles up front and a C notch in the rear with 2" drop blocks.

Re: With shock relocators and without.
Ok I installed my rear shock relocators yesterday and took the truck for a good long drive. First off let me say what an improvement on the ride. Much much better and softer ride. I wish I had done this at the time I lowered my truck. I must say if you are lowering your truck you must use the relocators to get the best ride.
