Need Shock Relocators?

[judamu]

I had my belltech 2/3 spindles and coils installed yesterday and was told I didn't need the shock relocators...is he correct by chance?

for optimal ride and lowering I say yes. Mine did on my Eibach kit...did they mention you need to replace with a lowered shock then?

 

[judamu]

yea he said for a rear three inch drop I didnt need the relocators but I should get some shocks for a lowered vehicle. I do get a little bounce in the rear that I noticed so Im guessing I should just buy some shocks made for a lowered vehicle

you can get new shorter shocks in rear orrrrrrrrrr get relocators.

yea since I already have the relocators I'll just have them put in. I searched the write ups and couldnt find a write up. is it that difficult if I were to do it myself?

No its very easy to add them. Unbolt shock, put relocator on that same bracket, bolt it to it, bolt shock up to new mount. Done. Doesnt makes sense, but its very easy.

I think relocators help the ride a lot. Along with allowing the proper travel again, they put the shock at a better angle. Yeah, if you already have them, definitely put them on. You can always change shocks later, but you might find that you really don't need to.
