How does it ride?

I ask cauz the ES1000's I'm using are too stiff -- its fine for going slow but going over speed bumps in my neighborhood is difficult.

 

[sn0border88]

well, its one step above riding like @ss, and a notch below riding a wooden cart. Honestly, I drove it 1/4 mile to the shop with no shocks on, very scary ride at 35 mph (I think, thats what the speedo told me but I know its off) I drove it home with the front shocks on and I made it to 45 without crying. So I guess its helps? Its the unblalance driveshaft, bent leaf spring and 36" TSL-SX's that kll the ride quality.

Looking good. I suppose I forgot to call again today. You gotta call me cause I keep forgetting

 

[IZwack]

LOL sorry I'm confused, I assumed those pics are of the rear shocks.. cauz thats what I'm using the ES1000s for. Sorry if I'm mistaken

 

[sn0border88]

I was a bit confused when you asked about front shocks as well. Im doing the rear later, I want to trya nd get 63" chevys before I do that.

 

[sn0border88]

Finally got some more work done...

 

[sn0border88]

Bump stops are in as well

Excuse the welds, I had quite a gap to fill.

And I KNOW MY DRIVESHAFT IS BLUE : fawkers. It was the only thing I had to prevent it from rusting and I didnt feel like getting more black. So its blue now.

Good googaly moogaly... those bumpstops really ARE huge! Are you going to have any uptravel at all with those? :

 

[zainyD]

I would brace that front x-member with some flat steel triangles like this |\___/| otherwise it looks pretty good. Are you going to get highsteer at some point? Any plans for a front bumper?

 

[sn0border88]

what front x member? The shackle hanger isnt going anywhere... trust me.

highsteer and bumper and both in the plans, if only I was rich. Ill be starting to make a bumper soon.

Spas... the bumpstops acually work perfect on the pass side, the drivers side needs the bottom lope trimmed off.

Ok, cookies to whoever can tell me what model this new badge came off of.

 

[FROADER]

I like the fender trim.

Emblem - 1978 f100 ranger?

 

[sn0border88]

I guess it wasnt as hard as I thought it would be then. Your right.

Theres your cookie

ur axles need breather tubes...

 

[sn0border88]

it on the to do list. But I like choc milk gear oil.

The rear has one!

 

[mynameisaric]

i think it is stic-o that got some pretty sweet breathers for his axles. you might want to check those out. its the route i'm going to take. they are made for an atv, and work like an accordian(sp) as the air expands and condenses

 

[sn0border88]

you do realize a breather is just rubber tube I think ill grab one at a junkyard and call it good.

 

[mynameisaric]

Yeah... but cmon.. you know you want a blingin breather to make your axle a sealed assembly and not have to worry about "chocolate milk".

 

[Mud Bug 94]

when the milk goes sour(accumulate alot of mud) it turn to thick ass pudding....

 

[Spas]

Micah, we stock a ton of tube here at work, I'll just grab a few feet of it to bring with me next weekend instead of you using some ratty old tube that's going to be too short anyway, ok? Btw, My 44 was missing the stupid breather tube neck/mount and I had to ghetto rig an IRS Explorer's breather tube mount to work. Do you want one?
