1963-72 Chevy & GMC Truck Rear Shock Re-locator Install

[@Wrenchen-with-Darren]

I know it's three years ago. But you guys do the best videos out there

[@oldblueshhrchannel1847]

Very easy way to correct the travel and angle of the shocks, just installing shorter shocks doesn’t fix the problem. Thanks David , great explanation of this important modification while lowering your C10

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Thanks Oldblue!

[@Ahelm12]

Great video. I’m doing my suspension this weekend and I feel like I’ll run into this same issue with my 70!

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

As we always say, just be prepared when you start the job for anything that might come up during the process.

[@robertemmons2260]

Great video! I'm glad that I have rear leaf packs instead of coils on my '68 C10, I didn't have to fight with my U bolts when I had swapped out my rear axle.

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

You were lucky!

[@dwaynelejeune3508]

Thx for the tip will be putting a 2 1\2" and 5" drop on my 65 c10

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

No problem, thank you for watching!

[@abelinogarza9783]

Great video, I am trying to do all my own work and this video really helped me out

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Right on!

[@tommytt5564]

Thanks for the great content.

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Thank you for watching!

[@blackpicasso6503]

Great I rather have a video like this so I can fix my mistake.

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Thank you for watching!

[@benmitchell2642]

If I’m going with airbags but not adding a lowering block or anything, will this still work fully aired up or aired out? My concern is that the shocks will be maxed out, or bottomed out (using stock shocks)

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

As long as you get a shock length that is properly 50/50 when your truck is in the middle of the suspension travel you should have any issues.

[@jZXDvcjb]

I installed the rear shock relocations on my 65’ c10. Ride is much better. Do I need to also run lowering shocks? Sitting 5 “springs and 2” drop blocks. TIA

[@malikdigger4544]

Very true way lower rearend but not shocks & springs be better to do whole rear suspension it's big difference from stock to custom.

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

So True!

[@peteman400]

Good video!!! So if I put a 3” spring drop i will have to do this?

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

You should relocate the shocks whenever you drop the truck. At 3" you could probably get away with not doing it, but your shock effectiveness will be compromised.

[@dewayneroach7952]

Do the shocks come with this kit or is it only the brackets

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Just the brackets. You would then purchase the shocks that correspond with your particular ride height or drop.

[@mrmidnight32]

What’s the part number on that gas tank? I know that’s not the blazer 25 gallon tank. Cause it’s not a square it’s a rectangle on top

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

It's this tank: www.brotherstrucks.com/1967-72-CHEVY_GMC-TRUCK-REAR-MOUNT-GAS-TANK-SET-STEEL-TOP-FILL/productinfo/GTPDT72/

[@benniegoodson6380]

Does this lower bracket work on a leaf spring c10 truck?

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Nope, sorry, just coil spring suspension. Contact Performance Online and see if they have a set for leafs.

[@esmundolarajr3049]

Do the fatter shocks go to the front or rear?

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Our shocks all have the same size shock body.

[@heluxcampos7131]

Will this work for an 86?

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

This one won't, but we have kits for the '86 here: www.brotherstrucks.com/Shocks/products/2447/

[@mscar8024]

Does the bed have to come off for this? Or can I do it with the bed on?

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

It can be done with the bed on.

[@meza5207]

torque specs ?

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

30-40ft lbs

[@Vaseliini]

What tank is that?

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

No idea. the customer already had it in there before we started working on it. Possibly a Blazer tank? We sell a conversion using that tank here: www.brotherstrucks.com/Custom-Gas-Tanks/products/2175/

[@petejoseph8257]

Wouldn’t that job be easier with the wheels off?

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Yeah, anything extra that improves access is a good idea. You'll notice we did take the wheels off on this project after a while.

[@petejoseph8257]

BROTHERS Truck Parts I didn’t even finish watching this. Glad you figured it out, work smarter, not harder.

[@MarshalG1110]

It is against the will of the Gods to work on vehicles in black socks! LOL

[@dondavis2546]

I don't know I have 3/4 in drive impact I don't like playing well with others
