Done at Last
I finally got my new shocks so it
was time to reassemble the rear suspension pieces. I did test my
welding skills by welding the two notches on each piece along
with welding a small piece of steel across the back side of each
notch. To my untrained eye it looks good enough for "government
work", so I'll keep an eye on it over the first few hundred
miles.
Painted up and ready to go. The bottom notch made
for the bend by the arrows. |

Perfect fit. |
|
Some
plastic plugs and Ultra-Black for the old conversion
bracket holes. |
|
Make
sure you feed the top bolts from the shock side
toward the rear. |
|
Here's
the bracket on the inner frame rail for the bottom
of the brace. |
|
It's
finally all back together. The arrows point to where
the shock rides about
1/8" from the bolt head and the bracket. These shocks measured 2" in
diameter
versus my old shocks at 1-7/8". Just another spot I'll have to keep an eye
on. |
