Re: Traded my '08 for an....'08

Finally got the ride quality I've been looking for...here are the specs on my '08 crew cab at 4/6: -coil relocators -spindles -shorter sway bar end links -flip kit with hanger at 6" -helper bags -shock relocators -Monroe 911258 shocks I've been through 4 different kinds of "drop shocks" (except belltech SP's) and was disappointed every time. A guy on another forum said he ran a monroe shock with success but nobody really picked up on it, I couldn't find anybody else that did the same. So I checked out the specs on them and ordered Monroe p/n 911258: http://catalog.monroe.com/catalogPar...layPartDetails These are a light suv shock with the right eye mounts, the only problem is that the bushing sleeves are 1/2" I.D. and the stock bolts are 14mm. I used my impact to run a spare 14mm bolt through each sleeve to make sure they would go (they're rolled from flat stock so there is a split in the sleeve allowing the expansion). It took a little force and once the threads grabbed, the stock bolts went through no problem. I wouldn't attempt this without an impact though! So the ride is incredibly close to stock. No doubt the lower shock relocators help too but I give them 90% of the credit. I am so happy that I found these, I was starting to regret lowering this truck in a bad way. If you're at 4/6 or 4/7 on NNBS, with the addition of the relocators these are a great fit and awesome ride.
