    Thats because there are two. One with the shocks and the other with the springs.

    They are profenders. Your not doing any serious speed racing or anythig so the name brands are very over kill in my opinion.... Shocks only get worked and really matter when they are being cycled at high rates. And when some one says one rides better then another its due to the shims for flow cycling in the shocks. Not the shocks them selfs. I got tunable coil overs for that reason. Yes they are not the shims but im not pulling my shock appart 15 times finding the "perfect" ride. So long story short go boss and suport your local guys.

    Where do you get your metal for the stuff you fab? The selection at Home Depot is lacking and the prices aren't great. Assuming you buy from a metal supply shop, do they have minimum orders? I'm not looking for much.

    A few feet of angle iron and a few feet of flat stock. All steel. All probably 1/8" thick or similar.
