Alabama thread!

Was what i was looking at. How did they look quality wise?

 

which rear shocks do you have?

 

Ah. didn't think about the rear shocks. My stock rear shocks are the bottleneck on my droop and max out before the brake line gets tight.

 

Dobinsons

 

Ya. When i get the leaf pack my shocks will be the limiting factor as well but right now my shocks out extended the leafs.

 

where did you order them?

 

Quality was nice. (If it wasn't, I would have sent them back.)

Only issue is the end that mounts to the bracket on the truck frame. The raised section on the brake line did not quite fit in the hole in the bracket. If I had known this ahead of time, it would have saved me time. Now, know you have file open the hole so the brake line fits.

No big deal - only takes a couple of minutes.

 

Im only asking so many questions cause some of yall have been running ext. brake lines for awhile and running them rough. I put my wife and 3 kids in this truck. Id rather not blow a brake line on a mountain pass with my family in the truck

 

Directly from dobinsons. Mike and David.

 

How long have you had them?

 

not enough travel for me, I'm trying to get away from the shock being my limiting factor for my droop. still thinking relocate and king smoothie.

 

They can have a longer shock custom made, but in sure its more $$ than the smoothies are. Ill eventually go this route as well.

 

Just about 3 years.

 

Good to know. Decisions decisions


Also thank you.

 

Sounds like you want to raise your upper shock mount and run a longer shock.

 

correct, just wish there was a cheaper route.

but the BAMF shock relocate and king 12" smoothies seem like the best route.

 

Hes only been talking about it for 8 months lmao

 

There are other options...

 

please enlighten me?

 

The Ford F-250 shock mount - which is what I've been thinking about using. (I have a set at the house.)

There is a thread on here somewhere about folks using this mount.
