The guy that came up with and sold those used to post here.


This will make one guy here very unhappy to see it return.

What was the OP's question again?
Hah, all great suggestions guys! I think the consensus was to remove the forward shock tower and go with Bilstein 5100's on all 4 corners. This seems pretty reasonable and economical.

I appreciate all of the responses. I'm sure I will have more "wtf did my PO do here" type threads

X2 and do new springs all the way around. Todays spring technology is night and day over just a decade ago...
So this leads me to the inevetible:. Do I consider a suspension lift now since I will in essence be buying a full kit to replace all shocks and springs? I don't mind the 2" body lift and will probably stick with 33" tires going forward. Or just buy the individual springs and shocks and keep it stock?

Some of the po mods are just bad. Others are what was available at the time of the build. Then there's the trail fix that just kept on working and never got changed out.

Ok, here is what the rear looks like. outside of the massive pile of washers replacing what I suspect is supposed to be a bushing, what else needs replaced in this picture?

I assume I should start with shocks and possibly springs?
