My 1972 C10 only had a couple inches of rear shock travel left, so I decided to install a set of rear shock relocation brackets and see if they were worth it.
In this video I walk through the entire install from start to finish, including removing the factory riveted upper shock mounts, removing the lower mounts, installing the new brackets, and putting everything back together.

The truck is running a 3/5 drop with Maxpeedingrods drop shocks, and before this upgrade there wasn’t much travel left in the rear suspension. After getting everything installed and back on the ground, I bounced the truck multiple times and the shocks were cycling properly without bottoming out.
In this video:
• Factory shock mount setup
• Grinding out factory rivets
• Removing the stock upper mounts
• Removing the lower mounts
• Installing the relocation brackets
• Reinstalling the shocks
• Final results and thoughts

If you’re running a lowered 63-72 C10, let me know what suspension setup you’re running and whether you’ve done this modification.
