Default Rear shock help!

i have an 03 silverado rcsb with a 4/6 drop and cal tracs and my rear shocks are bottomed out and im just seeing what my options are as far as getting a set of rear shocks that will let it weight transfer so i can hook up better.

thanks in advance

I'm 2.5/5 drop. And best upgrade with shocks to help you hook is a shock relocation, and some quality double adjustables. Get in touch with atomic for a good deal on some ViKing shocks. They were night and day difference on my truck

what settings do you have for your Vikings in the rear? Are they stock location or relocated?

As stated above, once you get into 6" territory out back, the stock brackets have the shock laid over so bad that they damn near become useless.

Do you have the ability to do a relocation yourself? If so, I'd say it is mandatory as you can do this for just the cost of some metal.
