For my stupid Redneck Adventures in 4x4 building this weekend, I did an experiment.
The ingrediants:
Worn out crap shocks on front
2 coilover spring over load leveler shocks laying in garage
And no $$$$$$$$$
Well, you can imagine what I tried and looks like I may have suceeded. I put
the load levelers (which are for the rear may I add) on the rear mounts because I have issues with shocks riding on an unprotective area, which is the lower mount for the upper mount. Now I must add this, this is not a permanent replacement, just temporary until the $$$ arrive to placate a shock hoop setup and Bilsteins.
After 4 hours due to fitment and jack issues (F'N thieves)both shocks were in place. I rolled around town tested, less dive in theshold braking, a lot better ride and real smooth, especially hitting the big ones for a little air. In the dirt and mild whoops, the ride was also smooth. This is a good fix for the poor boy.
Disclaimer: All safety issues were covered with liberal use of jackstands.
