Rear shock upgrade
I just mounted a set of Fox 8" remote reseivoir shocks on the rear of my truck. I valved them just for my truck and the ride is 10x's better than stock. If you valve your own stuff, pm me for what im running. If you want to do the same here's what I found. 1) the upper mount has 1.65" between the ears and the "inner" side of the tab needs to be ground shorter to allow for shock movement. 2) the lower mount is 1.90" apart. An 8" Fox is the perfect replacement length, A 10" will be great using a 4" block. You will need to have custom spacers made, and also the factoy bolt is 14mm, therefore you need to use a 1/2 bolt that, if it gets loose, will make noise rattling in the mount. Going to a 2.5" shock using a 5/8" uni-ball you could use the stock bolts using a custom misalignment spacer and grade 8 1/2 bolt. Hopefully this info is useful to someone.
