Shock Length
« on: Jul 07, 2006, 09:27:33 AM »
Gota quick and maybe stupid question.  Need to order shocks for the front of my Toy.  Putting a Procomp/toyota hybrid 4 1/2" lift on my '82 :usa:.  I am going with bilstein 5125s and I need to know what stroke length I should go for.  My truck is still under construction and I need to order these shocks as soon as possible


Thanks, Daniel

are you using the stock shock mounts or are you gonna run shock hoops like Marlin sells?

measure the flex and buy accordingly.... www.4crawler.com illustrates how to do this

if your on a budget just get the stock ranchos from kregan. pepboys even has procomps. Does bilstein make a stock front shock for our trucks?
I'd like to quit thinking of the present as some minor insignificant preamble to something else~~~~~
