Well, the vendor is telling me they prefer the 185606's on all four corners because of the 22.5" extended length (vs the 18.5" on the 062518's) as they prefer the longer shocks for more up travel and not bottom out the shock. Sounds plausible to me.
Have a US stock 1981 40 now....going with 2.5" lift with standard OME springs and always assumed the fronts were the 606's and the rears were the 518's. But maybe this setup uses all 4 of the same part number. Im fine to be wrong here...everything I researched says otherwise (2 unique fronts...
Ordered lift kit and got these from very reputable vendor here. Currently reaching out to find out I’m not seeing double.
I assume the rears should be a different part # - or maybe this is correct?
Many thanks. I emailed them this AM - may already be after business hours now for them. I wonder how much shipping would be...I would imagine they have already shipped some to the USA for residential delivery. I'll post here once they respond.
Not sure if you know @Jonathan Hanson - Any idea...
I am following this thread very closely and many thanks @Jonathan Hanson ( I also signed up to your newsletter I believe over at your blog once you’ve had more time with that suspension kit.)
I’m curious… Do you think terrain tamer will ship to the US? I reached out to them this morning to see...
Brilliant @Steamer 🔥! Thank you for this… I just finished up a complete replacement of my 12v and grounding straps… And just saw my oil pan gasket install is no longer holding back the oil like I thought it would. I guess with these kind of things with cork gaskets you just live and learn so...
@1911 is there some basic pics online of how to mark the dizzy to block. I know it’s held by a very important bracket and slots into oil pump. I’m new at removing one, but have replaced the cap before with new plugs and wires. It’s a critical procedure in my mind (not to screw up).
I’ve done some searching for the subject and found some good information, but can anybody verify that you can replace the gasket for the 2F side panel with the engine in place and not disconnect coolant lines (just the brackets), and not the dizzy? I know it may be fiddly to slide up and out...
Just wrapping up this thread here and wanted to give big thanks to @77mustard40 for helping answer small questions throughout the install of one banana for another smaller and lighter one. All I can say is what a huge difference this RG starter made for me in terms of starting power. Just...
Happy to be on again if you like - just let me know as I have been deep into some recent repairs and upgrades (again, being a n00b with that fresh "what the hell is this thing" perspective) ;-)
