Archive introduced the original 2.5" shock relocation kit over 8 years ago, allowing 2.5" x 12" to 2.5" x 14" travel shocks to be mounted under the bed with no cutting required. This updated system bolts into the bed structure for reduced frame stress, improved rigidity, and compatibility with an optional crossbar to prevent frame rail inward rotation. Built with stronger materials and engineered for severe use, this kit remains the benchmark for performance, durability, and smart fitment.
Important notes:
Check fitment info: See product fitment notes for shock lengths, wheel fitment, and install details.
Features:
High-strength construction: Laser-cut from 3/16" HSLA 50,000 psi steel, providing 30% more strength than standard steel.
CNC brake-formed towers: Precision-formed for maximum durability under heavy off-road use.
Powder-coated protection: Towers are blasted, primed, and powder coated black for superior corrosion resistance in winter climates.
Heavy-duty axle tabs: Included 1/4" HSLA axle tabs are built for rock crawling and high-stress articulation.
Severe-use engineering: Designed for long-travel shocks and aggressive off-road conditions.
Under-bed design: Allows shock fitment without cutting the bed.
Bolts to bed structure: Reduces frame stress compared to weld-only or frame-only systems.
Crossbar compatible: Lets you add a crossbar to lock out frame rail flex for improved handling
