Rear suspension cock-eyed

LOL Probably. <grin>

(Tough room!)

I didn't mean to come across harshly in the earlier post, I've just seen a lot of guys get fixated on something like wheels or paint and they BLOW the budget trying 17 different things.  Just give it time is all I'm saying.

Well, installed the shocks.  Look good enough and instaleld no problem.

It will be some time though before I can test them out.

Bouncing the back end of the car by hand though seems to indicate they are quite firm.

We'll see in the spring. 

Do you guys have washers and/or lock washers on your top shock bolts?  Mine just had the bolt and nut.  They were (very) tight when I removed them so figured it should be fine......I just torqued them down real tight when I put it back together.

Hey all.....I am reviving this thread just long enough to post my long term results.....360Fish PMd me asking how things turned out and I realized I had not done my duty and posted results.   

So its been over a year since I put the KYB shocks on.....along with new t-bars and rear add-a-leafs to bring the back end up some.

Things seem to have evened out for the most part......happy over all with the shocks....rear end is definitely stiff, but that is more likely the  add-aleafs, which also got me quite a bit of rear end rake......Once I get my larger tires on the back I am going to look at finding a way to lower the back end just a hair....I like some rake, but right now I am just a little higher than I want to be.....plus the new tires will raise it up a little more yet.....

Hope this helps, 360Fish
