Re: My ride...
For the front shocks I used Monroe 31069 without the shock extenders from the economy lift kit.. After dropping the axle 4" I made my own lower shock mounting brackets to move the shock mounting points out so that the shocks would clear the bumper. It worked out pretty well.

Re: My ride...
ok well it looks like im going to have to do some cutting i really didnt want to do .. but i think ill relocate the top mounts since the bottoms are nice in black powdercoate . Or just find shocks that should fit and sell the other ones i have .. Just dont know how to read the chart and took someones advise here and was wrong , :(...... o well lol.

Re: My ride...
Sorry to hear that Nate. I took the shock extensions firom the economy lift kit, cut one end off of it so it was "L" shaped, drilled a hole for a the shock mount rubbers, and a hole for a bolt so I could bolt it to the existing shock mount. Like you are finding out, when you drop the axle, it changes the angle of the shocks a bit and on my 89 the shocks hit the bumper mount. I can post a better picture if you want.

Re: My ride...
Here are the pics, it moved the shock mount out just enough to clear the bumper hardware.
