New front extended shock mounts!

[Stephen]

These are just a little pre-production now but since we turned out some pics of the LTT52 system and didn't blur out the other new part, we're just releasing them now!

Click here link to the mounts on our page

These raise the top of the shock 3", and move it forward and outboard a little for a little more effective shock angle while still using the factory lower mounts. They bolt to the existing bracket holes for the primary mount and also use the factory dual shock holes for the other side of the bracket. If you don't have the existing dual shock option, just drill the two holes using the bracket as a guide and you're set. These are pretty much essential for using modern shocks on these trucks since they generally have a longer body to start with.

We didn't plan the release this soon so keep in mind we'll need roughly 3 weeks to get them rolling out the door and we'll have to adjust kit contents and pricing and so on. But, an order now gets you in on the black friday sale and an early place in line!

Can you show the loser shock mount that you use for a single shock conversion? Do you use the original mount that the rear (shorter) shock mounted to?

@Stephen With the Bilstein shocks you sell: Is the shock valving the same - specifically the 10" Travel vs the ORD F3? I'm just deciding which to buy along with these extended shock mounts.
thanks,

Sorry, I didn't take many pictures:
I just installed the Extended Front Shock Mount on my 1991 Suburban. Overall the install went smooth, but a couple things to point out. Removing the old brackets is not too bad. I center-punched and drilled a hole in the middle of the rivet, then used an air-chisel to cut them off. Driver side went in without any issues, just had to bend the fender liner out a bit with some large channel locks.
The passenger side took a bit more work. The Rear A/C lines run under the HVAC box that is attached to the firewall. The A/C lines need to be moved out of the way for the bracket to fit. This took a bit of bending the lines on the evap tank and pushing the lines up and out of the way a few inches. Overall, not too bad, but was a bit unexpected. I removed my inner fender liner to get access to the lines to move them. Also had to cut a chunk out of the fender liner to make room for the shock.
One more thing on the passenger side - the top/front bolt hole has a fuel line behind it. I'm sure it's not too hard to move, but I just used 3 bolts for now.
I'll try to take a few more pictures to share.
These are a great product to convert to a single shock set-up from the duals. Highly recommended!

Just added a few more pic:

Driver side:

Passenger Side: I had to bend the A/C hard lines, then spread out the two hoses. You can also see where I cut the inner fender to fit around the shock.

How much shock length do yoh figure you'll need ?

 

[K85 Octane]

If it raises the mount 3", probably need an extended length 6" longer?

2010 prototype lol

 

[Keitha]

They say 3" longer than the stock (rear shock if you have doubles). I have a 3" lift and went with the ORD-F3 Bilstein. The 9.24" travel Bilstein shock would work as well.

 

[Cucv_M1008]

I still don't know what shocks to get lol

King coil overs 2.5 IBP should do the trick.

It does get easier when you have pretty much the entire catalog for your truck...

Me too. Can I run Bilstein shocks on my stock lift K10?

 

[Fastduramax]

LMAO Noosh are you saying the entire ORD catalog is currently suspending your truck ? I'm there bro just short of their full coil over option,,, Which I can drool over but can't justify the financial obligation... And hey Square's were born leaf spring, some lift and other mods, natural born killer...
