Blissard 359 Posted January 12, 2020 Looks great, shocks make a big difference. Just flex each layer of leaf springs, they will become much softer and you will get the stock ride height. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zappto 192 Posted January 18, 2020 Hello, thank you for info about bearings!, today was playing with my shocks, used 500 medium oil, added rubber guards,i am not sure if they stay they place, they can rotate easy on the shock.

zappto 192 Posted January 19, 2020 Hello, it is SRB shocks, they work nicely, but not hight end, it is 40 + years old!. I think i will leave this car shelf standing, as it is expensive and hard to find parts for repair! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zappto 192 Posted January 26, 2020 Hello all, was working on the leafs. I did try to use bruiser leafs, but they make truck too high, it does not look right. My old original leafs was broken, god knows how many miles they got. So today got used original leafs. They are not bad shape.
