    Trading for a transfer case or transmission?

    Selling?

    Keeping as extra?

    It'll be 100 per shock to have the bushing replaced to make them extended travel...I just saw it as an opportunity to check out a different company hence the impulse buy for Kings

    Sooner I install my King shocks the sooner I can get rid of my Fox

    Oh man, more than I bargained for...as I was parking it to rip the frontend apart I had a noise coming from under the timing cover, turned out to be the middle idler pulley bearing was shot so did the Timing belt/water pump job first...then I snapped a couple WP bolts torquing those down...and then noticed a crack on the frame cross member!

    Finally on to the frontend, as i was pulling the axles out they turned.out to be shit...of course not an easy part to come by so ordered an after market pair from Rockauto. They should be here today!

    Maybe have it all together by the 21st and I can drive it out and just open beers as needed?

    Just turning this over in my head... lol

    I'd have to replace the coils with 650# but I'm definately interested. When you get ready to slap those Kings on... just know...

    A) My garage is open to help you any time. I know it's a bit of a drive, but the offer is open.

    B) I'm pretty interested in those Fox... so it may not be to hard for you to unload em.

    I'm ready to pull the trigger on a Sports Suspension kit w/ Bilsteins from Wheelers, is this something that I can get help with installing? I've got basic mechanical skills but never attempted anything like this. Being a newb - what do I need to bring other than the kit, food, beer, smokes?

    Speaking for @Uphillshunter on this one but I'm sure we'll have enough time to get that done too. Suspension work isn't hard and I don't see there being more than 2 sets of hands (for the majority of the work) working on swapping my diffs. Beer is yummy too
