    IFS Heavy Duty Upgrades!

    thanks gmanpaint , sounds as though it will work for me as we pretty much have similar coilover setups. I'm running eibach 2.5 , 12" 800 lb , the shocks came originally with 600 lb and they were a joke, then tried 750, but I needed to adjust the spanner nut often. { always had trouble getting...

    RCD shock and mount numbers.

    Cmax: very sorry to hear about your hip problem, I sure hope your not in any pain and that your up and around soon !! I'm leaning towards the non res 6.5's ,OR perhaps a custom 7" radflo with 850 lb springs. With the radflo,you have a choice of a 7/8" shaft, I'm just trying to find out...

    RCD shock and mount numbers.

    I needed some info about the bumpstops !! how much room should there be between the end of the rubber and where it would hit ? I don't have much room at all,maybe enough to stick a finger in between,but thats it ? Also going over to a buddies shop and were going to try and take out a...

    RCD shock and mount numbers.

    what a frustrating day this turned out to be ......... they called me and said they had a leaf off and the truck sat well in the rear,however....there was a problem with the lower control arm hitting the bumpstop when they cranked down the spanner nut on the coilovers ? so the shop manager...

    RCD shock and mount numbers.

    they been saying this for sometime now ? I've spoken to Rick at least a dozen or so times over the last couple years. I'm in the Northeast and the Brown Wire Mod {BWM} isn't a good idea for me. Torsen is in Upstate NY,and they said this unit worked great in the Winter months !!

    RCD shock and mount numbers.

    I'm thinking you would need the brown-wire mod ? my '99 runs in auto unless I need fulltime 4x4. the perfect unit for the front would be the prototype Torsen {if and when they get it to market ?}

    RCD shock and mount numbers.

    I was taliking about the 5/8" bushing accessary kit. I believe the ones that come with the shock are fine. I'm looking at the 6.5" with an 850 lb rate. Now I understand what you did with those steel bushings !
