Shocks are in!!!
by RAT on Jan.11, 2009, under Wheeling
My bushings arrived from Amazon yesterday and I was able to put them in today. I removed all of the heim joints and pressed in the bushings using a c-clamp, a piece of wood and a large socket.
-
- Heim Joints
-
- New bushings!
-
- Other end done.
-
- Driver side shock installed!
-
- Another shot
-
- passenger side next!
-
- a shot at both.
I ended up tossing in some 3/4″ washers to offset the shocks a bit to help prevent the leaf springs from hitting the shock bodies. I’ll try to cycle the suspension to see if it is really necessary.
Took the truck for a test drive and it seemed to handle well. Can’t wait to put them to the offroading test soon!
