I know there are other companies that make rear upper shock relocation brackets to be installed with lower shock relocation brackets such as the EVO Rockstar skids. This is to mitigate the need for new shorter shocks or larger bump stops. They do seem to change the angle of the shock so I'm sure they probably change the ride characteristics a bit. Can anyone who has installed the upper relocation brackets offer up some advice.

No, my King 2.5 Res shocks have plenty of room.

Your CO kit didn't come with Rock stars?

Nope, an accessory I'm told. Looking at the install it doesn't seem too hard.
BTW - I don't have coilovers

Yes they are bolt on. You need to cut the shock mount, sway bar mount and control arm mount. The rest is bolt on.

Sorry, I removed my question after I clicked the link up top and realized that they are indeed bolt on. Will add these to the spring mods list.

What advice are you looking for? I use synergy's upper and lower shock relocation brackets. The lowers move the bottom of the shock up about 1.5 inches(and I have the ones that include the skid). The uppers move the upper mount up an equal distance so no need to change shocks. The upper does change the angle a little, nothing I notice though as far as ride quality. No binding that I can tell.jesse0920 said:

I'm planning in installing mine this week. Great write up the pictures will help out.

Six hours, 10@ 4" cut-off discs, and some prayer from my wife - it's done!
The passenger side went twice as fast as the driver side simply because of the learning curve.
As in the pictures above I had to take some off the top of the shock ears for my shocks to fit in the EVO Rock Stars.
Might as well just do it since the King Res shocks didn't fit, maybe other brands do. :thinking:
Good luck Aussie!

Thinking about this now aftyer being done - get a Sawzall - seems like it would be way better than cut-off wheels on a 4" grinder. :twocents:

That's what we did on mine. Its a lot of welds to cut through so its not fast, but a sawzall is the way to go and clean it up with a grinder. :yup:
