89-ish K5 build. Beat cancer!!! Time for icecream!

Just outta curiosity how much do you have into those shocks?
Or if it's easier, what is standard retail on a shock package like that?

 

[jekquistk5]

List price per shock is 760 each without any coils. Coils run about 80-100 each depending on what brand. I didn't pay retail on the shocks, I was probably pretty close to retail on the springs.

Fuel lines done except soft lines to the tank. I need to pick up some hose clamps then I can mount the tank.

Aluminum. Bends super easy.

Aluminum. Bends super easy.

Is it more prone to cracking or kinking compared to steel lines?

 

[jekquistk5]

I'll let you know after a few months/years.. I wanted steel line, but couldn't find it on summit. So I just ordered the next best thing. It had great reviews, and has been real easy to work with.

Diggin it Jesse'
I know drag racers that have run aluminum for 10+ years without fatiguing , but hammering the dunes might be a lot tougher on it?
Diggin the shock sets!

Thanks Dave. I plan on getting some rubber backed straps to help with vibration. I had plastic straps on hand and needed to get started.

Looks like you are halfway there to a 52 swap, MAW just go that route and send me those mediocre shocks...
