Shocks
Just tried to install Bell Tech Shocks and they would not fit. They were hitting the frame in the front.
What shocks are you running? I want something better then the KYB's that came with lowering kit. Thanks! Heath

Re: Shocks
How would recommend doing that? The frame is drilled and bent.
Im looking for shocks that would just bolt in. What is everyone running?

Re: Shocks
I used this shock mounts on the front.
http://www.brotherstrucks.com/prodin...number=FSR6372 I had the whole front clip off, so install was a breeze. |

Re: Shocks
Hello Andy,
Yes, totally factory mounts. I even installed the BellTech stud that mounts to the frame. There is NO WAY you can mess this up. I'd like to think I'm pretty mechanically inclined. I called BellTech and they said, "If they don't fit try our Nitro Drop 2's they are not as fat". The shocks I got are almost as fat as a Coke can. There is no way unless that stud sticks out 2-3 inchs the it will work. Stumped!! Heath
