Re: Anyone want to kibbitz?
All of the shipping reports are starting to show up in my emai.
I have spent about $1800 but I have all the big stuff now. I will have to buy some smaller items still, but no more big outlays on the suspension. The final design came out like so: Front end: 3" drop spindles and removing one coil off each spring. Adding a sway bar and replacing all the gromets, ball joints, etc. I'll figure out the shock mounts when I get to that point. Rear end: 6ish inch drop. Have a pair of Firestone 2600s, bolt on frame notches, and a matched set from Porterbuilt including panhard bar, shock reloctors and trailing arms on the way. I'm going to run the rear bags with a 215 Thomas compressor, 3 gallin tank and manual valves. I hadn't planned on replacing the trailing arms at first, but mine have rust buildup between the halves. $400 seems worth it for safety and the arms Nathan builds just look cool anyway. Thanks to Scoti and Nathan for helping me figure this out. Once it all shows up I'll add it all to my too long quiet build thread.
