welll i got some lst big bores... they are alot bigger than i was expecting .. anyways i wanted to try them out so i decided to seee what i could come up with to adapt them to my truck . this is all out of simple things every house has pretty much .and the best part .... it was alll free to do.....
youll need.
1 bic ink pen. the ones like we all used in school.. white soft bodies.
a small peice of fuel tubing . aprox. 2 inches long will do.
3/8 in washer with the center hole being smaller than the head of the cap screw that comes on the stock shocks. that mount to towers .
first i cut the pen into a 5/8 inch tube length... need 4 of these... same length on the fuel line 4 of them as well..
then i put a washer on the shock cap screw. the washer needs to be big enough to make sure the screw head and washer cant fit through the pen.. then i slid the fuel tubing over onto the swcrew down to the washer... placed the pen tubing over the fuel tubing and then onto the shock.... made it a snugg bushing. pushed it onto the tower .. snugged the lock nut down till it flaired out the pen tube slightly so it holds the shock from walking back n forth on the tube.. i screwed the bottom of the shock onto the stock shock mount on the a frame... with a longer screw that went through to the next hole in the a frame ... illl build an aluminum adapter when i got mo9re time but for now thats what i done ... seems ok so far...
the lst shock in my hand .. my hands are pretty big to...
shock... and adapter /bushing
the bushing all together
top mounts
bottom screw alll the way through both holes
thx for looking ... just my simple redneck fix till i build a better brace for bottom and the top ...
