deusth tech shocks and ford towers (1 Viewer)

[FJ40Dude75]

anyone know where to get these items at a good price?

ford towers = ford stealership....$17 or so apiece, won't find better.

if you know the shock P/N, you can order thru summitracing.com for IIRC $28 per shock, tho they aren't stock so you wait a few weeks.

shock p/n's can be found in the tech links, in the shock spreadsheet.

woody,
when you mount the new ford towers are the bolt patterns the same? are the ford mounts taller?

 

[woody]

ford mounts are taller, about 2-3". They mount with 2 bolts and "should" be welded on as well...even better, brace the backside a bit. The holes are close to the stock rivit holes but not exact.

I cant find the part number for the ford tower. I remember a post on it but I cant seem to find it. Anyone know what it is.

Thanks

I got my towers from a junk yard 86 F-250 for $15...they are common and take only 10 minutes to pull...

I forgot...Doetsch DT3000's can be purchase direct from the company and ship quicker that way (usually). I ordered part #3368 which are 29.5" extended and 17" compressed for and overall 12.5" of flex. They also make a 32" by 18.5" for 13.5" of travel....part #3403. Both are $40 a piece from Doetsch with free shipping.
