The bushing on the right looks kinda trashed. Make sure you do not torque the lower shock bolts until the vehicle/shocks are loaded.

 

Brian can I loosen and then just torque down to what spec? All with wheels on and on the ground hopefully

 

Have you heard the one about a couple of monkeys and a football?

 

Yes, torque it with the wheels on, on the ground.

That form of magical levitation scares me

 

Silly 1st Gen stink bug

 

Looking better loaded down

 

I am tired of Eric being back already. Way too many pictures of first gens.

 

Boo this man! BOOOOOOOOO

 

He made a wicked come back.

 

I like how it looks even if it is a 1st gen..

 

What the hell are u guys tryino to a complies in those pics? I saw a sawzall, that's never a good sign.

 

Rebuilt nickelodeon's leaf pack.
He had to sawzall a seized front hanger bolt.
I don't think he'd ever used a sawzall. It was funny

OMD mod FTW!

 

Omd? U lost me

 

Tell me that was a failed attempt at rearching the spring and that spring didnt make it into the truck

Nope, it's on Brett's truck now. Looks crazy in the press, but it springs most of the way back from that.

I didn't re-arch any springs in the pack I built a while back, but I'm completely sold on the "bastard pack" concept.

 

Sawzall? Nah, angle grinder with a cutting disc on those

 

Huh....

 

People spend hundreds of dollars on aftermarket springs and it sounds like they just end up sagging over time like the stockers.

I used free springs and have maybe $30 into things like new centering pins, paint, stripping disk, misc. hardware.

Brett grabbed some springs off an SUA S-10 in the junk yard for ~$40

Now we have leaf packs that I'm betting are superior to $400+ aftermarkets.
