oh, please add some sort of extra support for the 205, Look at how davidO supported his. It just scares me to see that much weight hanging off the aluminum

i plan on adding some more support

does anyone have a picture of dabido's setup, i looked through his whole build up thread and cant find one of how he has the support other than the one that he has that is in the same place as mine

I bet you could call him and go get a quick look at it yourself.

i got the hydro assist steering done yesterday, it makes such a difference. now all i need to do is get some spare parts and liquids and figure out how i am going to do the exhaust and i am ready for trees

blazer worked real well this weekend and i didn't break anything to major, i lost part of my winch fair lead and had an issue with my fuel pump relay. but i did realize that it is time for shocks, anyone have any suggestions on some good ones, i don't mind spending some money on them but i don't want to spend to much. my budget is between 300 and 400 for the set. which ones are the good ones? the ones that i have looked at so far are blistens, ranchos, and pro comps, what are the other good ones?

[BroncoJo]

ranchos are overpriced as far as their quality goes. I've allways had real good luck with bilsteins.


I have no experience with procomp except for the cheap shocks (125 for the set). Worked fine when I DD the bronco in Highschool, If one messed up I would just take i back to 4 wheel parts and get a new one.

bilsteins. or super cheepies.

ranchos are relabels of a major mfr. tenneco maybe?

Pro-comp MX-6's are prety good, thats what I have on the front of Pigpen. The finish on them is prety much gone now but they still work great. I've had them for about 5 years.

what do you have on the rear?

not relabled they are division owned by tenneco. any twin tube shock is not a good choice. A mono tube is a much better shock. the mx6 is monotube and good value but for just a little more I would go with a more proven product like bilstein which is oem upgrade on quite a few makes. I am not a fan of shocks with knobs as it is a sales gemmick unless it's bypass shock

I will say I didnt know much about shocks when I bought these (I was 17...) and wasnt familiar with higher-end brands. I would deffinately go with Bilsteins or some other premium brand because as you mentioned, they arent that much more. I agree that the knob doesnt do ****, all the settings feel identical. Of course Pigpen is a heavy ***** and the differences might be more noticable on a lighter truck but I cant help you there.
