What length shocks are you running in the truck if you dont mind me asking. I am running 2" shackels and removed the middle leaf out of the rear and I am wondering what length shock to run. I am also running v6 drop springs up front and again dont know what size shock to run to get the best weight transfer. I have rear a few posts by you and Tyler about your old setups but never saw anything about what shocks. I know to measure the length it is as it sits then find one close but not sure if its better to be close to the collapsed length or extended length. thanks for any help, and cant wait till this truck is back out...

Depends how much work you want to put into it. I've been low 1.4x with factory replacement shocks from o'reily in stock location.

O really? even with the truck that low? or was that before you drop your truck? the shocks im looking at in the rear are c2730's. they extend to 23.62" and collapse to 14.15" and my current stock shocks are setting at 16" with it on the ground.

Default Wheel back spacing

[QUOTE=Phantom;5201277]It's just a 10.5! Lol[/QUOTE
Not sure if you said or not, I might have missed it. What back spacing do you have for both the front and rear wheels? What do you think a truck like that would sit like with 33x10.5-15 with only drop hangers and no C-notch? I can't bring myself to cutting my frame just yet.

1.75 bs on front and the wheels for my fab 9 rear were 5.5bs. You could do lowering hangers with notching the frame but it wouldn't sit near as low as this truck.
