what kind of setup are you running, im running a sd 3 link with re8s behind and under, and im running early 90s nissan hardbody shocks, make the ride super nice

 

well its more less stock just baged

 

more or less stock, but bagged? haha...

you have to have some kind of setup in the rear... take pictures and post them if you dont know what it is

 

im gonna guess monoleaf

 

haha sorry if that souned dumb im new to bagin il get some pics...i ment like no 4 link an i got part of the leafsprings still...but il get some pics

 

haha, no problem man. we all gotta start somewhere. but yeah, pics will help us help you!

 

the best pics i could get the street was burning my arms! haha

 

ware did you all go i layed on the hot asfault to get them pics..i think its a monoleaf too but idk lol

 

its monoleafed. im only running shocks in the rear. and to figure out the range, i found where my mounts were gonna be (upper and lower) and layed the truck out and measured the distance. and add an inch for safety. then do the same with it aired up. add an inch for safety. then go get them ordered. as for brand, i had monroe.

 

ok that makes a lot of sence!...thanks!...hase any one tryed toxic?

 

toxic shocks are really stiff. id go with the hard body shocks bought mine at autozone for like 15$ a piece.

 

you still have the factory shock mounts in there, what happened to the old shocks? did you pull them out because they didn't work with the drop?

 

ok then toxic is out...and 15 bucks is the kinda money i have haha so il probly go with that....i traded my old car fot the truck i have now and it came baged and im just redoing it slowly so it came with no shocks il look and see it the mounts are there if thay are will that work? with it being baged i mean

 

you can see the lower shock mounts in your pics. right next to the lowering blocks.

 

and ware would the top one be?

 

the top mount was on the crossmember that was removed to bag that thing..... just spend some time looking around under there for a spot to put the top mount, preferably in the shade

 

as long as the shock fits it dosent realy mater ware i put it?

 

shouldnt matter where you put it. Just make sure it doesn't limit your suspension travel up or down. and check where you are gonna mount it when the truck is aired up and layed out, so you know nothing will get in the way. Spend 20 minutes and take the 8 bolts off that hold on the bed. Get an extra guy to help you lift it off. The job will be way easier once you can see everything!

 

i took some big zip ties to compress the shock, then mounted it, then checked the up travel before burning the welds. i agree, get that bed off to do the job right.

 

shock location matters greatly... not sure where you're getting anywhere from

 

just put all the bed bolts in! haha yeah il take it off ...on that note i do need to do a lot of work that taking the bed off would help...how do i go about doing that after i get the bed bolts out what elce is there to do..and any idea on the law about haveing the bed off if the tag and tail lights are in dose it matter?

 

undo the 3 screws around the gas filler neck
take out your taillights and push the wiring harnesses down through the bed to get them out of the way
undo those 8 bed bolts
you and a friend lift the bed off and set it up on saw horses or whatever.

cant legally drive the truck like that without wiring up some taillights, and putting your plate on there. I believe you are technically suppose to have some type of fenders or flaps protecting your tires from throwing rocks too
