I recently ordered cage padding from Jegs and have some lengths leftover if you need any Karl.

I was surprised when I saw the real stuff, it was much more dense than I thought. I guess John it talking about if your head hits the cage violently the closed cell stuff will save your noggin. At first I was thinking if the cage crushed in, in which case you are fooked either way. I still think that pipe insulation will help a tiny bit.

that seems a little high. I bought my cage shocks for 120 for all 4 shipped. I would guess you could find a similar deal. Wasnt there a company making cheap shocks for applications just like this?

[Eckert]

i can find cheap shock for about $20. but they all have eyelets. appearently studs on each end got phased out in '79. might end up just running the stock ones, flex is overrated anyways.

[TMatheaus]

shocks are overrated

1. Do we/anyone have any part store hookups anymore?

2. Is it worth it to spend the extra 20 bucks a piece on ball joints to upgrade from the house brand at O'reillys?

3. Edit, what about the (extra 70 dollar a piece) adjustable ball joints?

Thanks
