I have a 'Q' about rear shocks.
I always thought that shocks had a 'sweet spot'. The internal valving in the center of the shock, which would be about the center of travel when the vehicle's weight is on them. Correct me if I'm wrong. If this is correct, how do I check this?
My black truck is 4/7. When this was done we also re-located the upper shock mounts. But, I used the same shocks as when it was 4/6. Belltech Street Performers. They're kinda spendy, up here, but I really like 'em!
So with the the re-located mounts, & the 1" lower stance, we also modded some custom extenders that are just slightly longer than the bolt on style. (+ 3/8") Would fabbing up some some even longer extenders be a better plan, if the shocks are too short? That may be a clearance issue. Or do you think that that extra 3/8" be O.K as they are? The shocks have low low miles. Would it just be simpler, but more $$$!, to just buy some shorter shocks? How much shorter?
Future plans for the blue truck is to also re-locate the upper mounts & I think that just some extenders will allow the use of the shocks I have on it now!
