just a question... why use hoops over the towers? Them towers are dirt cheap... I can't imagine that the trick shock hoops will be.

are ya just trying to keep furd parts off your rig, or is there some kinda perf gain? Just wonderin'...

They are $75 welded, and $50 unwelded. Not too pricey... problem being (for now) I have no welder, and they are only available from RockStomper as a weld in kit. Is there a good source for the furd towers? Does anyone sell them? Because I can't bring power tools into the yards around me... and I'm not willing to naw the rivets off for those brackets! /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

Some people say the ford towers are still availible at the dealership, if not let me know I can get you a new set for about 40 bucks to your door.

Mine were $10.50 each plus shipping. Requires a drill and a saw, no biggie.

Got mine from the dealer---12.99 a peice and didn't have to pay for shipping---so either way they are dirt cheap.

I will be making shock hoops for K5's pretty soon and will post availability & prices when they are ready.

bolt on or weld?

 

[TrcksR4ME]

Whats the application for the furd shock towers? f-150, f-250??? If I went to the dealer, what would I ask for?

IIRC 1980 ford f-250

 

[yunit]

I will be making both bolt and weld in applications.
