Rear shock bar mounting instructions?

55_2_drive · Jun 13, 2015

Hello,

I purchased a rear shock bar and it came with no mounting instructions. I test-fit the bar and it fits between my frame rails snugly, which is perfect. The issue is that I don't know exactly where to mount the thing.

Should it go directly beneath the holes in the body originally intended for mounting shocks? If so, how much clearance do I need between the bar and the body for the new shocks?

As always, any help is appreciated.

There are some install instructions for the shock bar here:http://www.classicchevy.com/assets/pdf/classicchevy/21-228.pdf

Hey Thanks Pop's! My new shock bar from CPP arrived just yesterday and I'll be needing those instructions as well!!!

They are a real pain to put in with the body on. I finally got mine bolted in & when I had my exhaust put on I had the guy weld them in. Now if you have a lift it would definitely be a lot easier. Van:gba:

Rear Shock Bar

I just installed my shock bar Saturday and lined it up with the existing body holes. My welding isn't the best so i didn't post pictures. When i saw the trunk was cracking near the floor mount i decided it was time to get a bar install. Also a 25 gallon tank at the same time on my back in 105 temps fun wow!
