    Hey all,

    What other forums or websites would anyone suggest for finding used truck items such as shocks, diffs etc.

    I’ve been looking for used shocks for a while here on TW, but would like to expand my search in order to find some.

    Thanks,
    Curtis

    I check those three daily as well actually, probably should have specified that.

    Pirate 4x4 used to be the place for these types of things but I think the place has practically died. (I grew up in the pirate4x4 era)

    2.0 x 14” remote resi Fox or King, for the rear of the truck for when I eventually do a Chevy 63 swap.

    Thanks I’ll check that one out.

    I check race-dezert.com every once in a while too but that crowd usually has the bypasses for sale and not the smooth bodies.

    Maybe I’ll add another question here... would this type of shock be better off buying new?

    The last few sets I’ve seen used we’re going from $250 to $350...
