Coilovers!!

[yellowchevy]

love it when my posts get turned around and things are assumed.

Love is when you catch the early flight home from a conference in Dallas and find 2 nudest hiding in your closet waiting to gang bang your girl friend like some kind of ****ing magic show!!!!:roflmao::hug:

Gotta love old school

I always think about it after posting but now I realize not everyone has access to a full metal fab shop and is a certified welder with a degree in fabrication

I was basing off experience from a similar job.

To clean up the frame and finish filling in the puny welds they have on there from the factory would be very simple for a competent welder though.

While you guys are breaking down a post, Im going racing and beating the shit out of my unmodified frame mounts

So a guy could buy the QA1's and run w/o a spring? That way I'd still have the rebound adjustment and then throw some springs in when I'm able?? I was going to buy Rancho's and then worry about coilover's some other year but would this save some $.

If you want to save more money, buy Viking double adjustable coilover shocks. There made buy QA1, same quality and made in the same factory in Lakeville Mn!

If you size them correctly, yes you could

How do I size them correctly or do you have link to a thread discussing this already?

No gussets on my upper mounts, works great. Perfectly safe, you're a bunch of sissies

Got my springs and shock bodies a couple days ago! Can't wait to put them in!

 

[c20elephant]

WisconsinHick1, what bushings are you going to use and the model number of the shock?

 

[DMAXchris]

I want coilovers. James, I'll be in contact when the weather warms up here.

These are the bushings I used with my QA1s. Don't use the composite ones that come with the 501s they are only rated to 2000lbs.

This are Viking C209 shocks with Eibach 900# springs. I wanted 800# but they are extremely hard to find used. The C209 shock is a bearing bushing. It was recommended as the bearings are easy to replace. pull a C clip drop bearing install new and reinstall C clip and Viking is local to me about an hour drive.

I say I have $425 into my setup and I already had the top shock mounts from my old truck lift.
