    I'm running Air shocks so no coils a all my ride height will be adjusted by a gas charge as well as my spring rate.

    Yeah I caught that much, just wasn't sure of the dynamics of it, like how they give and all in relation to normal coils/shock. I'll look it all up though, man ha no need for a breakdown. I just saw them and though, huh, that's not what I expected . . .

    I know this is just mock up, but just in case.
    Run fine threads (grade 8 of course) on the shock bolts. You'll thank me later

    What's the reasoning behind running fine threads on just the shock bolts(why not anywhere else)? Is it just cause it's stronger and can be torqued down more?

    Google tells me that they are also stronger in both tension and shear strength, so I guess that doesn't hurt either. Just wondering why only use fine thread on shocks and no where else...

    Any reason you went with with air shocks? Besides price? I ran 16" air shocks on my 3 linked 92 and wasn't a huge fan of its road characteristics.
