S10X - Chevy S10 Xtreme US Trucks

Adding a Third Shock

 
My 2003 Xtreme pickup did not come with an Anti-hop Damper, better known as a third shock, installed on the rear end. So after some research, I found e-bay had the best price. I bought the shock, forward bracket, and hardware for a couple hundred bucks.
Due to the fact that I bought used parts, I had to clean the parts up and add a coat of spray paint to make them look like new. After a day of cure time, I installed them. Installation was a breeze.
1.      Jacked up the rear of the truck
2.      Remove the right rear tire
3.      Install the Forward Bracket (note: the rear bracket is already welded to rear end housing)
4.      Install the shock
5.      Re-install tire
The truck is now ready for burnouts and wheel spinning launches. No more wheel hop when trying to lay down some rubber.
