Guys, I just oredere a shock relocation kit for the rear of my truck, I'm tryin to do something like Stew and Flaco have done to theirs, but I dont have a flip kit and am goin mono-leaf. I dont know weather to use coil-overs or not, I'm mainly needing some info on shocks and any extra info will be appreciated. truck is an 02 RCSB lowered about 3" out back. Thanks guys, JB

EDIT: I have 6* pinion shims and wheel screws on the way too, Also am running cal-trac style bars. I'm tired of rotating the rims in the wheels, ready to make this thing hook.

i'm not sure if the monoleaf is meant for street use. especially in a truck. you may want to call calvert and ask them about it.

Well, here shortly it wont be a daily anymore, but I'm gonna try it and i'll report back, I ordered the same mount kit as you did after i ordered it i read you thread. what shocks did you finally end up with?

rancho 9000x adjustables. also, i wasnt wild about how low the flip kit put my truck, but the point of the flip kit was to put my traction bars at a better operating angle. just FYI. you can probably get away with more angle to your traction bars than i can though since you're a single cab.

Yea, where is the best place to find them for slightly lowered trucks? summit only lists like 4 different ones and they are all long as hell! Yea i played with the idea of a flip kit and it just didn't work out for me as i'm not into the super low trucks, where i live you have to have a truck, i had a low one once, hated scrubbing everything around. thanks for the info stew, keep it comin guys!

Hmm, it appears that calvert has bought out the rancho 9 way adjustable line of shocks, at least thats what the website claims, they also have a form for mono leaf systems that ask for the use, street, street/strip, or strip. I think I'll give em a call and see what they say

I did a shock relocate too, but had a cut, and bend me a mirror shock bracket that looks stock. he used a cnc plasma table I think. here are pics





he also made me some custom upper shock extenders

Well, I called calvert, they said they dont make the mono leaf for full size trucks, so look like im gonna have to re-think that part. Anyone have other suggestions besides a 4-link?
