hit a wall with the sammy
« on: August 16, 2007, 03:55:03 PM »
...well not literally. for anyone out there with sprung over toyota axles. WHAT SHOCKS DO YOU USE?!?!?! and what size. everywhere i look, i need to lift first then measure the extension/compression and then order from there. is that the only way? cause i want to get my rig out on the trail as soon as possible and i have to wait another week to get my bushings.

does anyone have the extension/compression numbers? i'm using the 3" lifted springs from trail gear.

-thanks

If it helps, I just use light duty shocks for a 95 F-250 on my SOA setup.  Seems to work pretty well.

yeah, hoops would be really nice... but so would enough money to get some. i've gotta make sure i still have enough money to buy my new skis. it sucks having two loves for two different seasons. :P
