Title: shock size?
Post by: Newbie on January 06, 2012, 03:10:33 AM
i have a 76 shortbed chevy with a 6inch lift, and it has no shocks on it.. has the shock mounts but i know im gonna have to put longer shocks and wasn't sure on how to find that out exactly?  i plan to put up pics of my shock mounts and all to help out.. sry as u see my name is newbie lol.  i saw that people had made coil kits to fit on the rear end? does that help out a lot? any recommendations? i have a 14bolt in the rear and a 10 bolt in the front..

if u wanna order em  , u can tell the tech  they will get u the right ones ... unless u wanna find one yourself u can measure it mount to mount  and look online to see what will fit. compressed vs uncompress and travel
