Hahaha but I need that extra 1.7 hp!!

 

I've got the new KYB shocks in, new bump stops, and new Leaf spring bushings. All I need now is matching red sway arm bushings.

The bump stops are Energy Suspension #9.9137R. I had already cut dowm my old ones.


The bolt holes lined up well








I also figured out how to take the adjustable vets apart, so I will be cleaning and painting them.

 

That's going to be a smooooth ride! Are you going to cut the new stops? Lol gotta ask since they were cut before..

Also, how do the vent come off? Tabs?

 

I'm excited to see gow the ride feels. I had shocks with sprungs previously, so hopefully this won't be so bouncy.

I'll see how much these KYBs damp things out to see if I neet to cut the stops. These bump stops are barely a quarter inch taller than the old cut down stops, so it may be ok.

Totally, there is a tab on the non-knob side that I pressed with an awl, and pivoted it out. The I just spread that piece a little and the fins pivoted out as well.

 

Keep us posted on how it rides with the new shocks and bump stops! Between the Nitro Drop 2 shocks, new ball joints, and cut OEM bump stops, I'm absolutely loving how mine rides now.
