What shocks to put on front lowered d150? - 03/09/13 05:04 PM

I lowered a D150 2 inches in the front and 6 inches in the back. by doin the rear end flip and cutting the springs in the front. Now all I need is shocks on the front. I was wondering which to get or if anybody has had to get these yet? I can only find shocks for stock height d150's Any help?

Contact the guy at mid america customs, I used his lowering kit and the shocks have never bottomed out

If you use Lca's without the pocket use stock length
If you use LCA's with a pocket you use shocks for a 4000# front axle they are longer to compensate for the pocket

6" rear 2" front Gasser Look?

Don't call Mid America Customs for anything.. In fact you can't call them anymore because that guy has finally taken down his web site. The stuff that came in his kits were junk. The shocks were just stock length shocks. I had to replace them in less then a year.

Use stock front shocks they will work fine. I used KYB shocks on mine I got from Rock Auto. You don't need a special (Shorter) shock. Although someone on here might chime in that you do. You don't.
