Steroid Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Or You can run Ford Pinto front shocks. A lot of Us did that trick years ago. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Custom. You can find shock extensions from 4x4 shops. You can find a welder in an open garage. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Except the pinto shock isn't that much shorter is it? Quote Link to comment
Zeusimo Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Pinto Shocks Do Nothing If You Have Disk LCA You Can Install Diplomat Shocks Cut Stock LCA Mount And Drill A Slightly Bigger Hole Quote Link to comment
mike maule Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Having worked at a NAPA store for 20+ years and if the counterman has the time. Look up stock the shock parts number , the specs on that shock ( mounting type and lenght). Next how much longer do you want to go? Then start looking in the specs on all the shocks to see what might work. I have done this a hundred times with guys with lift kits Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 I can raise your towers but i live in Arizona. I raised mine 2 inches & run stock shocks with plenty of travel. Quote Link to comment
ohmrchristopher Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 I am running Pinto shocks and they're not that different. I am quite lower and only have about 1"-2" of travel, out of the whole 5"? stroke. Needless to say these things will be blown out soon. Beebani? makes extended towers? Are there drawings or specs to make your own? That would be helpful. Quote Link to comment
91b22 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 I can raise your towers but i live in Arizona.I raised mine 2 inches & run stock shocks with plenty of travel. PCD if I shipped you my towers how much would it be for you to do that? Quote Link to comment

Pacific coast Datsun Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 In theory you can cut them off level 1 inch above the upper control arm bolts..ship them to me..ill section / raise them & ship back to you. Any welding shop can weld them back on. PM me if your intetested..it wont cost that much. Quote Link to comment
