Shocks

texan79&96 · Dec 7, 2004

my 79 bronco has quad shocks and if use trac bar drop i will need to lose the front set becase it is the trac bar mount. what are the differences between having them in front of the coil or behind it. i got some f250 towers i plan on running behind the spring so i can run a longer shock. is this the best way of me using a long travel shock if i use a drop trac bar baracket?

Stay with the quad shocks and get shocks with longer travel. My Rancho kit came with a new LH front track bar/shock mount that dropped the track bar and retained the front shock. I know you can buy just this piece from Rancho. Using 4 shocks is better then 2 as it will give you a better ride off road all around.

Definayely stay with the quad shock set up.....It would be better all around....

if you run itty bitty tires and cheap ass shocks what's the differance between 33's and good set of shocks?
I have an f-250 and it's about as heavy duty as they get (minus an f-350 or bigger)but it only has i shock on each side.I don't think 4 is any better than 2.buy the right shock for the right job.idiotzone red ryders ain't gonna cut it.
spend a little extra and get some good shocks,hell if you want to buy 4 buy them i just don't think you need them.
go ahead and agrue everyone but I really don't give a sh@t and if quad shocks were a good idea what happened to it?
