I found the shokies im going to run.
Im getting these so i can go coil over when im bored with the leaf springs.
They are Fox racing 2.5 Pro-Series Coilover Emulsion (aka CoilCarrier) shockie with 16" Travel, .875" Shaft dia. Extended length 42.43" and collapsed length 26.50" from eye to eye.
When i want to go coil over i just buy the coil kits for them.

Hello all
Ive been busy moving everything back to my place so i can work on it every day/night if i want (YAY)
I had both difs in place, i had all the hubs on and wheels on, i put it on the ground and it stood under its own weight for the first time in so long!
Its a fair wack taller than i had first wanted... but i can live with that
But then my stupidity struck... i didnt finish the C&T, i cut and i rotated but i didnt weld it as i wanted it perfect and i was going to adjust it later. POP off comes the knuckle and ball and down goes my rig onto the floor again... But im going to take advantage of this, im going to get the other one out too and get them chrome dipped BLING BLING!
Yes you all may laugh... but after 1 1/2 years i was getting a little eager to see some action!
HEHE

It was getting dark so I couldnt see. But the springs looked like they were custom made as they were nice and flat

Hey all,
Im at Tafe for the next few weeks so i dont have access to the workshop to do anything. I do have a sort of garage come workshop set up at home to continue though.
Heres my start to the front hub rebuild.
Spindles are ok, only minor wear on the seal area so i cleaned them up for reuse.
Hubs are painted and prepped.
Highsteer is prepped for install (buffed off the stoopid red paint on the mating surface...)
Hubs are almost together.
Ive got to buy some new thrust bushes for the inside of the spindle and possibly some new lower kingpins as the last people to work on this truck were realy rough and gouged into everything (as you can see from the above swivel housing pix)
Cheers fellas
