Ridetech 88-98 GM C1500 Rear HQ Shock Kit for Flip Kit

If you're lowering your 1988-1998 Chevrolet C1500 by about 6 inches using a flip kit, you'll need the right shocks to match that new stance. This rear HQ Shock Kit from Ridetech is built specifically for that setup, ensuring your truck handles well and rides comfortably at its lowered height.

This kit includes a pair of rebound adjustable shocks designed to work with a 6-inch drop. The shocks themselves have a 5.75-inch stroke, and the extended length is 13.15 inches, compressing to 20.7 inches. This range allows for proper suspension travel at a lowered ride height, with the included lower mounting brackets ensuring a direct fit. The adjustable rebound lets you fine-tune the shock's damping characteristics to get the ride and handling just right for your lowered truck.

When installing this kit with a 6-inch drop flip kit, pay attention to the ride height adjustments. The shocks are designed to operate effectively within a 16.5-inch to 17.5-inch ride height range, measured from the shock mount to the shock mount. This kit is a solid option for anyone looking to properly complete their C1500's lowered rear suspension.
