Rear Shock Extenders

[JDraper]

Since I have had several inquiries on rear shock extenders, I thought I'd post some info on them. These shock extenders drop the upper mounting point for the rear shocks by 3" allowing more suspension droop before your shocks fully extend. They are great if you're running a torsion twist and shackles or add-a leafs. They are made by Superior Industries International, Inc., Van Nuys, CA and carry part #13-6541. They are a little hard to find, but I got this set at A&A Auto in PA. I know Pep Boys used to carry them, but I don't know if they still do. They run around $15+tax for the pair. You will have to replace the bolts that come with the extenders with grade 8 hardware. The provided bolts are not grade rated at all, and I broke one just installing them with a 1/4" drive socket ! Here's a pix of them.

Hey J, thanks for the post, I may be using these if I can find them. I have about a 1.5" TT & AAL's....do these change the suspension ride at all on the road?

No change in the ride at all
