Rear shock relocation
My shocks got in the way of my exhaust routing, so I removed them built the exhaust and know it's time to relocate the shocks, I'm thinking about to the rear of the diff. Anyone have any pros or cons?

Re: Rear shock relocation
I believe the No Limit relocation kit uses that approximate point. I've heard great things about them. They have a thread in the suspension forum.

Re: Rear shock relocation
Info note : the 60-62 frame had them outside leaned back like that. Sure there are pictures on my build thread.

Re: Rear shock relocation
Have them like that on several 4x4 rigs and work fine.
Make sure you compress the rear and load the axle into the notch then measure the compressed length and set up your brackets accordingly. You don't want the shock to bottom out before the axle does.

Re: Rear shock relocation
Here's the way member Frizzle Fry did it and I did the same with mine. Almost what you're talking about.
