I allways thought the ground makes a great bumpstop..... but thats just me...



Maybee its something that should be for the bedroom, kept in the closet...

What shocks are the best to run with the SSD shock relocation kit? I just got it in the mail yesterday and now I need to get shocks so I can weld them in.

Believe it or not, but my daughters project is running stock 1990 B2200 front shocks. Low end Monroes if I remember right. Just gotta make sure that the frame hits the ground before the shock bottoms out

i have the bump stops for inspection reasons. without them i wouldn't be allowed to drive my truck.

I'm sorry they won't allow you to drive it in canada without a bump stop. What if you mount them to the bottem of the frame? haha

not necessarily. it's all in the mounting. like immortal said, make sure the frame hits before either bottoms out. I'm using some stock shocks up front as well. Monroe gas matics

the whole idea is; that if you have no air in your system you can still roll with all four tires flat, with out dragging your frame.

as soon as i saw off the bumpstops i go back to laying frame.

ive relocated my front shocks like the pictures
When i went for a ride the truck was pretty bouncy in the front ,Are all trucks like that ?
I tried it at all different pressures but it was still bouncy

make sure your shocks are mounted the right way! most, if not all, gas shocks have valving systems that do not work when the shock is upside down. it works a little upside down, from my experience only dampens on the "up" stroke. so make sure the shock is right side up. makes a big difference.
