Dampening the 4/6 ECE - Properly!?!?

The rear has plenty of room for movement now.

What was the final degrees of the rear shocks after the rear shock relocation kit installation? Stock shock mountings will lay the shock down more with drop springs. Just wondering did it make a great deal of difference in how the shock ended up leaning?

I have ECE's 2" front drop coil (and 2.5 spindle), and their 6" rear drop spring.
Just ordered
- CPP-4809G 1963-72 CPP Nitrogen Gas front Shock 1"-2" lowered
- CPP-4052G 1960-72 CPP Nitrogen Gas rear 5" lowered, each

I've been looking at the no limit rear shock relocation kit. It aligns the top of the rear shock in a better location for shock movement. Looking at my current ECE rear kit, I can likely flip the current bottom bracket around so it's facing rearward like the no limit kit, then I'd just need the no limit style upper shock mount to finish the deal

Anyone else looking at this to improve the rear?

Btw, I spoke with CPP about the Bilstine shocks on their website and they said none of them are the right length for a 4/6 drop.

I have the no limit rear relocation setup on a different truck that is bagged. It is a great kit and works fantastic. Putting the shocks on the outside of the frame improves handling and stability quite a bit. It obviously also stands the shock up so you can go as low as you like. Great kit!

I know this is an old thread. I'd like to bring it back to the top to see how you guys like your shock choices. I am about to buy some for my truck and would like to get some feedback now that you have had some time to drive these different shocks for a while.
I want a good ride.
Thanks
