Hey Kurt, thanks for the info on the Monroe website. I kinda figured that there must be some info out on the web about custom choosing a particular shock by mounting specs and length, etc. Especially with the popularity of lower and raising of vehicles in the last several years. I'll check it out.
I've been driving this truck around for 6 years without rear shocks and its ok most of the time. There are several circumstances around here when it is very annoying and darn near dangerous without them. Recent road construction around here has prompted me to move installing rear shocks up on the priority list. I realize how important they can be for keeping the rear tires on the ground. Hitting these bumps from the old pavement to the new while negotiating the temporary chicanes will send the rear duallys in the air and set them down about foot sideways with a bone jarring hit. If you aren't paying good attention, you'd either take out the car next to you or the temp concrete barriers. I can drive the truck without them, but I don't have to. I don't think the 3100 stuff will work. Different frame altogether from the cab back. My 3800 doesn't have a crossmember near the rear axle. Theres one about 2' forward and one 2' behind. As I methodically reduce the rattles, it can't hurt to smooth the ride first. Jeff in Clermont, FL 53 3800 Chev [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Ole Chevy and GMC trucks rule!
