Thinking of getting bilstein 5100 6" lift shocks when the lift goes in. Anybody have any opinions on them? They seem to be a pretty popular shock and I'm not ready to step up to reservoir shocks or anything super fancy.
Also need to figure out if there's a way to mount a BW 1356 to a crossmember. I'm not sure if you can due to the case being magnesium but I would think that the weight of a doubler hanging off the transmission mount would be a bad thing.

I wanted to get bilisteins, but they're pretty pricey. A few people on here talked me into getting some ranchos. They are a really good shock, and the bronco drives like a cadillac on the street.

Go ride in Travis's truck. You'll notice what a difference a good set of coils and shocks makes. I want to get something good the first time. I know what rancho shocks ride like and I know what 3 inch fox shocks ride like, and I want to get the best shocks I can with what I'll be able to spend.
I'm kind of tempted to get 2.5 FOA reservoir shocks on the front and bilsteins on the rear.

I have never seen it done with a 1356, but could you do something like this:

Build the mount attachment point into the doubler plate.

i have bilsteins on my blazer and love them, it rides real smooth with them, i think they are the 5100 series ones
Yah Brian and I have more or less the same suspension and his rides way better. I have Rancho 5015s in the front but they're prety old and haggard. If I ever start working on Pigpen again, getting the Bilsteins I got from Scott rebuilt and installed is my first priority.
On the 8th day god created the Super Swamper TSL and said "go forth and kick ass"
If you are not in a huge hurry used 2.0 resi's (fox or bilstein 7100) can normally be found for around 300-400. Then a complete rebuild and re valve (for a 2.0 fox) is less than $50 per shock.

These might be sold but definitely worth looking into

I started the truck up tonight and the output spins in neutral so I think it should be fine. Just gotta see if it slips and make sure it shifts alright. I'm feeling pretty good at this point. I'll Put driveshafts in and drive around travis's house on Friday.

= good or could be better for extended radius arms?
This will be about 12-14" extended radius arms with 2"x.25" DOM
and since the radius arms won't be spinning, I shouldn't need jam nuts right?

Are hiem joints really needed? I think the $150 could be spent somewhere else (shocks or rear leafs) first.
just my two cents
