Hey Sarge, why did you go back to the original shocks? Aren't they awfully stiff?

Re: New Thread..............
Lee the reason for the change is I had a very bad body roll....We meaning me decided that is was because of the long shock mounting from the dog bone up to the floor of the bucket....A distance of about 20 inches. I think the shocks were moving at a different direction from the dog bones......Also I was only running one shock on each side with 350 lbs springs..
By using the same size shocks that Jag uses I would change the distance by about 12 or so inches.........I may change the springs on the original shocks but with the 50 miles I went yesterday in a high wind condition these will work better....Most Jag rear-ends I see on buckets use 4 shocks and I thinking that must be the best.......I shall see after some more miles......Like the Top of Texas Fun Run............

Peggy Sue wants shiny shocks . She told me so. She does not want her sleeping in the back to be disturbed either.

Our snitches say that Windy tried to drive their T out on the pier at Panama City Beach. I don't think they let him!
