Edelbrock Frt Shocks $6

[IRWFO]

I just got a sale paper from Summit Racing. They have the Edelbrock Performer IAS Twin-Tube Front Shocks, Full Size GM Pickup '69-'91 on clearance for $6 each. Reg. $49.95. Stock, 4" & 6" lifts. I just ordered some so they are in stock. My extras will be on sale next year for $25 each.

I'm thinking that you wont sell them here...

I'm fairly sure those are for independent suspension trucks, not solid axle 4WD.

*But I've known to be wrong. With an eyelet on one end and a stud on another, they aren't going to fit M1009's...

 

[davo727]

I think that stud-eyelet thing is a misprint. The application data all says 69-87 K10-K30. For $6 ea im gonna see what shows up. I ordered for my 1028 and they also had them on sale for my later chevy trucks.

12 shocks total = $81.95

They seem to cross reference as a universal fit for 4x4s. I ordered a bunch so we'll see what happens...


THANKS!!

I hear they're good shocks, just overpriced. Guess they're not overpriced now.

For the price it's not too bad of a gamble, but be warned I have bought several things from summit for my truck M1008 that was advertised to fit but didn't, not even close. They like to throw that 69-91 Fullsize Blazer/K10-K30 pickup around alittle too much. I have a feeling most of the stuff is meant for half ton equipment, so with the Blazer your probably ok. But the one size fits all doesn't always work with the K30's. If they do then thats quite the sale.

$50 shocks are overpriced? Sounds cheap to me, but I'm not all that familiar with the pricing of such things. I'm used to quotes upward of $150 per corner for good shocks.

 

[AJMBLAZER]

They're not $50 shocks. They're $30 shocks at best with the $20 name. You can buy real Bilsteins for these trucks for about $60 each if you look around and even cheaper sometimes. I got Rough Country Nitro 9000's for $35 each from JCWhitney with free shipping last year. They're nitrogen charged monotubes.

However if these had been on sale for $6 when I bought mine I'd have definitely grabbed them. It's a deal.


Now you wanna talk about some King external resevoir bypass shocks? $150 is cheap!

 

[hobie237]

Still- I'm used to a $30 shock being a 50,000 mile take-off, not anything new, a $50 shock being a no-name China junker, and a decent shock being a minimum of $80-$120 per corner, up to ~$500 per corner if really serious.

 

[AJMBLAZER]

Eh, NAPA's Truck Shocks are actually nitrogen charged monotubes and can be had for $25 each or so. They usually even have the big book o'shocks with the mount types and expanded and collapsed dimensions so you can find shocks just like what you need.
Welcome to the world of trucks and not little buzz bombs.

 

[hobie237]

True, it's not like you'd need a shock on a 1-ton that's independently adjustable for bound and rebound...

Wellllllll...that depends on the 1 ton you'd be running but yeah, with these K30's there's not much point in a $1500 shock.

 

[IRWFO]

I received my shocks today. All looks good and the boxes were in perfect condition. They even include black shock boots. This is one of the best deals I came across in a long time. I also grabbed the 10K tow strap of around $23. Another real good deal.

 

[CA_CUCV]

good to hear, my 12 should be here soon

Out of stock....

Did they have eye's at both ends? Or a eye and a stud?

 

[IRWFO]

Eyes on both sides. No problem.
