      Description

      What it solves

      Transform the rear suspension of your classic muscle car with the UMI Inboard Rear Shock Relocation and Traction Bar Kit. Factory shock configurations severely limit tire width, while leaf springs without traction devices suffer from extreme wheel hop. UMI’s comprehensive solution moves the shocks inboard to maximize wheel well clearance and adds heavy-duty traction bars to plant the tires under acceleration. The upper mounts feature 5.5 inches of adjustment range, allowing you to fine-tune shock angles and seamlessly accommodate natural unibody frame variances.

      Designed for 1967–1969 GM F-Body models, kit 273124 includes everything needed for a complete foundation upgrade. The system fits both stud-style and double-eye shocks, and accepts coilovers for mono-leaf applications requiring adjustable spring rates. Featuring laser-cut steel plates, 1.25-inch DOM tubing traction bars, and a bolt-on installation requiring only minor drilling, this kit is proudly 100% Made in the USA.

      Detailed Features

      Technical breakdown
      ✓
      Inboard shock relocation: Moves the rear shocks inside the leaf springs, freeing up critical wheel well space for wider tire and wheel packages.
      ✓
      Adjustable upper mounts: Features 5.5 inches of adjustment range to perfectly dial in shock angle and accommodate variances in factory frame widths.
      ✓
      Multi-shock compatibility: Configured to accept factory stud-style replacements or high-performance double-eye shocks with poly or spherical bearing ends.
      ✓
      Coilover ready design: Upper mount accepts coilover conversions, allowing mono-leaf spring users to add and adjust spring rate precisely.
      ✓
      Integrated traction bars: Built from 1.25-inch .120-wall DOM tubing to control spring wrap and eliminate wheel hop during hard acceleration.
      ✓
      Heavy-duty construction: Upper mounts feature laser-cut 2-inch and 1.75-inch square tubing, while lower mounts utilize 1/4-inch steel plate for maximum strength.
      ✓
      Exhaust clearance: Highly adjustable design allows for installation alongside up to 3-inch dual exhaust systems, though minor tailpipe modifications may be required.
      ✓
      Bolt-in installation: Requires only minor drilling for installation, avoiding heavy fabrication while replacing weak factory stamped steel mounts.

      Installation Summary

      Before you buy

      Overview & Difficulty: Moderate DIY installation requiring basic hand tools, a drill, and a shop press (for leaf spring bushings). The process involves removing the rear shocks, leaf springs, and front mounts, then installing the new upper shock relocation bracket, traction bars, and lower mounts. Minor drilling is required to secure the upper subframe brackets. Torque specs include 22 ft-lbs for frame mounts and 37 ft-lbs for upper shock nuts. Minor exhaust modifications may be necessary to clear the brackets.

      What’s Included:
      • Upper Shock Mount (2731DMA) ×1
      • Stud Mount Shock Mounts (Driver & Passenger) ×2
      • Double Sheer Shock Mounts (Driver & Passenger) ×2
      • Frame to Shock Mount Brackets (Driver & Passenger) ×2
      • Leaf Spring Plates (2630) ×2
      • Traction bar tubes, spacers, and rod ends
      • Delrin bushings and aluminum sleeves
      • Complete hardware kit (273130-BK) ×1

      Product FAQ

      Quick answers
      What vehicles does the UMI 273124 kit fit?
      This kit is designed for the 1967–1969 GM F-Body, including the Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird.
      Why do I need to relocate the rear shocks?
      Moving the shocks inboard frees up critical space in the wheel well, allowing you to run wider rear tires without interference.
      Does this kit help with wheel hop?
      Yes. The included heavy-duty traction bars control leaf spring wrap, which effectively eliminates wheel hop under hard acceleration.
      What kind of shocks can I use with this kit?
      The system includes mounts for both stud-style and double-eye shocks, making it compatible with everything from standard replacements to high-performance bearing-end shocks.
      Can I use my stock length shocks?
      No. Stock length shocks will not work with this relocated setup. We recommend measuring at ride height or using UMI-specified Viking or Koni shocks.
      Can I run a rear coilover with this setup?
      Yes. For cars with mono-leaf springs, the upper mount accepts a coilover conversion, allowing you to perfectly dial in your rear spring rate.
      Does the installation require welding?
      No. The installation is a bolt-on process that only requires minor drilling into the subframe for the upper relocation brackets.
      Will this clear my aftermarket exhaust?
      The kit features 5.5 inches of adjustability to help clear exhaust systems up to 3 inches, though minor modifications to your tailpipes may still be required.
      What materials are used to build this kit?
      The upper mounts are MIG welded from laser-cut square tubing, the lower mounts use 1/4-inch steel plate, and the traction bars are constructed from 1.25-inch DOM tubing.
