Dan's ratty truck

[Dantheman1540]

I’m about to put some on my Yukon. What model?

Whoa, big dog you made me go back a long time in my Amazon order history to find this lol.

Bilstein (24-186742) 5100 Series Front Shock Absorber

I'd say they will probably ride much better in an SUV than that truck since its so light in the rear.

Lol. I know how that goes! I’m actually looking at the longer shock, since I leveled: 24-186643. Appreciate it though Sir!!

What measurements are you looking for? These are decently long, that truck has a custom Deaver leaf pack that I think is about a +1-2". Also, Might I add Fox has some really well-priced shocks I like their coilovers on my Silverado a lot. If they make an adjustable shock that will fit for the new setup that's what I'll likely go with.

Not sure, I haven’t measured. But it’s about 2” higher after cranking the keys. I have not felt it hit the limit of the shocks so far though. But looking for 2” longer than stock.

Always better safe than sorry.

Old axle out and trailer painted, not a bad Sunday. I'm really pleased that the 4.10s and Duragrip look to be in good shape! Should be able to recoup some money for the new axle. Yes that's a ghetto wooden frame stand, I didn't feel like dragging all my jack stands through the dirt so it is what it is and, I still have all my toes and fingers.

Not much has changed with this in awhile. Engine should be done very soon and I made a little progress tonight on the rear end and shock relocation. Most of my slacking has been because I just love laying on a dirt floor. #dirtfloorpoor

You'll be digging sand out of your ass for a week.

Edit:after checking your other thread, that may been the goal....

 

[Dantheman1540]

according to google "Some pearls can develop in a period of six months. Larger pearls can take up to four years to develop". Therefore the sand will be sticking around longer so I can get something out of this Raw deal.

Maybe I'll bring my concrete slab over and put it under your pole barn so we can really get some shit done

Your truck should make more than enough power to drag a slab.

Dropped the axle back off for powder coating and I got to see my long lost engine!!!!!!!! It was already assembled except front and rear covers as well as oil pan because I forgot to bring them the ARP hardware, should be done tomorrow.

Also bear with me on the axle color, I know it's a little to fancy and on the edge of being brodozer but....... The color nearly matches the Method Roost wheels and it changes color drastically depending on lighting. As you can see in the 2 different pics its bronze/dirty gold in the picture with a light shined on it but black in the picture where the light is shined away, pretty cool stuff I think.

Here's some real life lighting pictures of the color it's getting.

Thank you! Cant wait to see it

I agree, that color is nice. Good choice.

Interesting I just got a call from the machine shop and they noticed the rocker arm bolts are hanging into the intake runner of the PRC220 CNC ported heads. Never seen this before but I suppose I never looked for it either. Stocker rockers with CHE trunion and stock bolts.
