A different approach to rear shock relocation

Talked with @Timbo89 a little while back about possibly extending my BAMF shock towers in order to accommodate 14" stroke shocks instead of 12". He had a great idea to use a completely different shock tower which is a shock tower that is made for Ford F-250s & F-350s (1985-1993). So today we put in the work (mostly Tim ). Turned out great and I honestly like them better than the BAMF towers. I have Bilstein 5125s in there now. We decided to mount them at 26" eye to eye since the way I have my bump stops set up will only allow for ~5.5" of up travel. There is still about 2" above the upper part of the mount before it comes in contact with the bed.

Ride Height Length, eye to eye: 26"
Extended Length: 35"
Compressed Length: 20.75"

Note: My truck has the Chevy 63" Leaf Spring Swap which provides the lift and awesome flex. The shocks are truly the limiting factor here which is why I decided to go up to 14 inchers.

Why do all that work when you're still rockin stock leafs?


Not talking shit, honestly don't understand?

 

He has Chevy 63's

 

Ah gotcha. Disregard.

 

Sir, I am not on stock leafs.
Chevy 63s, see pic below

 

I never would have thought. You guys just welded them onto the frame or did you have to modify them?

 

Beat me to it lol

 

Looks good man!

 

Thank you!

 

Flexin' on hoez.

 

Waiting on my phone to download my cloud, had to factory reset it. Will post the pictures I have up. Way cheaper and way easier to set these up.

 

The lowrange website was less then 40 for the pair shipped
