Increasing shock travel question...
I am ordering Bilstein Sport shocks for my slammed baby. She sits at (font: 25 1/4" rear 26 1/4")... I ve read previous threads which I cant find now 
on replacing or doing somthing to the shock mount to increase shock travel even more... I know the Bilsteins are 1" shorter than my Z51 shocks giving my more travel but im hoping to gain more travel than just what the bilsteins will provide for me with the shock mounts...
thanks guys

But I thought i read something about flipping the shock mount or something in the rear to gain more shock travel.... Hopefully someone will chime in

You can however replace the factory dished upper mount with a flat plate. This will raise the shock around 3/4" which with the angle of the shock should change the wheel travel twice that.
