'62 K10 rear shocks: should I stagger/offset them?

[BILT4ME]

I had a 60 K10 that had the stock shock locations. Axle wrap was an issue, but because of the 6" tall block between the spring and the top of the axle housing.

I'm not sure if the 62 is the same, but if so, it doesn't matter where your shocks are, you'll get massive axle-wrap with the block.

I ended up building ladder bars for mine because I was running 375 HP with a manual and 33" tires.

FYI, on the later years with the repositioning of the shocks, the right side of the trucks would always crack the frame and the RR side would sag. I'm sure it is related to the "twisting" action it causes because the shock action would create a twist on the axle housing, rotating the RR rearward more than the left side. (not rotationally about the axle shaft, but about a vertical centerline rotating CW/CCW based on shock resistance....

Hopefully that makes sense....
