Hi, Im in the process of dealing with the rear shock mounts on my K10. I have currently the stock shocks with a 2" lift block.
I have a plan to relocate the top shock attachment point to avoid the elongated stud hole in the frame and future frame cracks.
Before I go any further I need to know what is the recomended "no load on vehicle" shock compression % or lenght, given the designed travel of the shock (or any shock for that matter).
Lets say my shocks travel 9.36 inches and this is at 100% extension. Should these be mounted at full extension or how much extended when vehicle is at rest? 8", 7" ...
Any ideas?
