Whether you've got a de-arched leaf spring drop, a flip kit, or a shackle\/hanger combo landing you in this range, this shock is sized to work correctly through its full travel at your new ride height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRunning a shock too long for your drop means it never gets to do its job - all the damping happens in a tiny window of travel while the rest is wasted length. Too short, and you risk topping out and damaging the shock or your axle housing on hard hits. This DS-2 rear shock eliminates the guesswork by being built specifically for this drop range on this exact platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwin-tube construction with valving tuned for a lowered heavy-duty truck strikes the right balance - controlled enough for load-carrying stability, compliant enough for a comfortable daily ride. Direct bolt-in at factory or drop-kit-relocated mounting points, no fabrication needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the correct call whether you're running a rear flip kit, de-arched springs, or a hanger\/shackle kit that lands your rear drop in the 0\"-4\" range. Pair with the matching DS-2 front shock for consistent damping character front to rear - mismatched shocks between the front and rear is a common and easily avoidable mistake that leaves an otherwise well-built lowered truck riding worse than it should.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStraightforward bolt-on installation with basic hand tools, typically under 30 minutes per side. Built to handle real-world daily driving and load-carrying duty, not just a one-time show setup.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dirt Shocks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58145147977888,"sku":"DS2-C2500C3500-REAR-0-4","price":62.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9720\/2848\/files\/Single_Shock__85969.1554412568.jpg?v=1783269945","url":"https:\/\/obsrevivalparts.com\/products\/ds-2-rear-shock-0-4-drop-1988-1999-chevy-gmc-c2500-c3500","provider":"OBS Revival Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
