    to the op- A for effort, nice welds but that is too dangerous. I guess you cant fix stupid. Please check the bus/sell thread for used stock bilsteins $100 and some cheap spacers or a body lift, much safer

    No freakin' way would I put these on my truck!

    Please Note:
    These open box shocks are sold in a pair. One has scratches all over it and stickers have come off. The other has small scratches. Someone attempted to install these shocks and failed, but doesnt appear to of been used.​

    Granted they've got to be better than OP's...

    If lucky. Otherwise, the fatal crack/stress/strain will occur off road and the failure may occur while hitting the brakes real hard to attempt to stop before hitting that ... :(

    20+K truck, you claim to be an ASE certified mechanic, as well as the next Einstein, and you won't spend 3-400 dollars for a legitimate mild lift or be smart enough to not molest your truck with red neck engineering? I agree with everyone else, nice try, but you FAIL!
