Shock question

[TexasBlazerBoy]

Installing 4 inch lift

I got four new shocks

Two are long

Two are short

Which two go in the front, long or short?

 

[RockinChevy]

short ones in for the front, long ones for the rear

You may want to look at an inboard shock setup (like this: /\ rather than this:\/) it really helps out articulation...and the stock rear shock mounts on our trucks suck and extremely limit flex.

Did your truck come with dual shocks from the factory? If so, install the shocks on the lower mounts. I can get pics of mine if you need it.

I have a 90 burban that I put a 6inch rough country lift on and I have quad shocks up front. They sent me two shorts and four long, so I thought the long went in the front... so do I need to switch the rear ones to the front? I did notice that the rear front shocks have a shorter mount so do I change them to the rear ? Then if I go with the ord flip kit for the rear do I need new(longer) shocks?

No my truck did not come with dual shocks, only single.

I put the short shocks up front.

So does this mean you are closer to being ready for Shiloh?

I freakin hope so.

I got my 12 bolt dropped, springs out and one hangar ripped off last night. Now I get to do the other side

It is going pretty well so far. I just hope repairing the brake lines that I broke up front won't be to horrible.
