Rear Shock Relocation bracket

[Will Rhoades]

I am looking rear shock relocation brackets I found Baer ones online. Are there any other styles brands. Has anyone else used anything different with good results? Thanks in advance!

I've used QA-1's rear shock relocation brackets. Had em blasted and powder coated satin black, didn't like the shiny galvanized finish.
Believe I got em from Summit Racing.
I'll post a link to a previous thread with part numbers.

Here's the finished product installed.

Looks like UMI also have this available.

Isn’t that relocation bracket for the coil over conversion only?

 

[1KWIKSIX]

not sure, I just assumed he was referring to use with coil overs.

after looking at this, I don't see why these other brackets would not work with stock style shocks as well.

That is very interesting. I hadn't thought of a shock binding issue until now. Makes sense!

Nice set up. Pictures look awesome. However, I have aftermarket disc brakes with larger calipers. I intend on using blistein shocks but the factory location hits the caliper. I should have clarified that in my original post.

Take a close look at these then, that's exactly why Mark installed these.

Do any of these shock relocation brackets reduce the clearances between after-market anti-swaybars (Like H&R) & dual exhaust systems (Like Pypes 2.5", 3") ?

These are two parts I found that may be solutions. The first picture definitely looks homemade but looks like it would work $75.00 on ebay. The 2nd are the Baer brake one about $45.00 with shipping. Not sure which one would be best. Or if there is product out there that would function better.

That first pic looks like cheese!

They do look like they would work. Just more than what I want to spend. I guess you get what you pay for though!

Definitely, stinky cheese!

Either Limburger, or From-Undah!

Nope, here's a picture of my set up , (running 2-1/2" ATR Dual Exhaust, only 1 side installed at the time this picture was taken) ....using QA-1 rear shock relocating brackets with my coil overs and my HR bar.....lots of room and doesn't come anywhere near close with both mufflers & tail pipes installed.
