    Dual rear shocks on a NBS


    Support FSC and see no ads! - Click Here
    I have been looking to try to find dual rear shock mounts for my 01' Sierra and it is practically impossible. I haven't called around to find any but just over the internet I can't find any website that offers them for NBS trucks. If anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated. I already know the fabrication involved to put them on and stuff I just need to find the mounts.

    Re: Dual rear shocks on a NBS

    You ever think about just making your own? Can't be that hard at all! I've been thinkin about duals for my rear but will it make it ride softer or stiffer?

    Re: Dual rear shocks on a NBS

    dual shocks in the front improve ride but dual shocks in the rear don't do anything except look good so yeah...but i think i could make a set but i'd need some specs to use to make them...

    Look up JB he had a dual rear shock setup on his NBS w/ a 6+3 on 36s and it looked pretty good IMO.

    bnc sells a full throttle rear dual kit, but I havent seen it and Im not familiar if its bolt on or weld on.

    I made mine because I wanted both sides to be on the back not alternated like factory. I also bought soft shocks so mine wasnt stiff at all, actually rode damn good.

    Re: Dual rear shocks on a NBS

    I know it has to be welded on and thats no problem because I get free installs at my work so installs not the problem just finding a pair at a decent price is the problem...
