[QUOTE="Flyer58, post: 430788, member: 18629"] Thanks all. I'm not in a big hurry to change out the original OEM shocks and the new ones will arrive this week. One concern is the lower shock mount breaking as what happened to Gilaguy2 in another post. Reading the reviews about the relocation bracket I found one owner who thinks the offset gave more leverage and more stress to the axle mount causing his to break off. As a test I may install the rear shock and then jack up one side of the frame to see what the clearance is with the shock fully extended and compressed. I still have the rear track bar out and the wheel travel is now considerably more than with it. [/QUOTE]
