Just need to install the lower ball joints and time for install! To put the control arms together was easy peasy!

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
 

Do you have a part number for the gas-a-just front shocks you're running with the porterbuilt front shock extenders??

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
 

I think you are meaning front shock relocators? Here is the part number it is KYB-KG5474. Buy them from rockauto they have the best price on them.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
 

Shock stud mounted on LCA. This stud did not come with control arms that will have to be purchased separate from your local parts store. I will be pressing the ball joint in today!

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
 

those looks really good, makes you almost not want to cover them up!

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
 

Lol. Yes they do. They won't be covered up as of now cause I still am not done with my inner fenders got sidetracked. So I can look at them every time I open up the hood lol. I am ready to get them on and hit the side roads and throw them into a curve or 2. Plus a spirited run up interstate 40 at about 100 plus lol.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
 

Semantics... thanks for the part #. Your truck is sick:metal:

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
 

Anytime. Thanks appreciate it.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
 

Wow I totally wouldn't have guessed they were from a Toyota. I do think you mentioned that earlier in your build. Thanks for narrowing it down.

Are the rear Gas-a-just shocks just stock length for a C10?

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
 

Man I felt the same way when I saw that. That's why I posted it lol. Yes I have the rear gas a just part number also I have them on my truck also give me a min. No they are for lowered I have 8" drop in rear. 6.5" drop in front.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
 

Rear KYB-KG5401

I took the part numbers for the shocks Nate aka Porter lol uses in his kits and called KYB and had them cross reference them over to the gas a just.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
 

Oh really? I have about a 6" rear drop and plan to run shock extenders. I saw a couple pages back that you have them too. I thought the point of the extenders was to run stock-ish shocks. My rear end rides like crap right now, the shocks are damn near horizontal. I'm lookin to stiffen it up and the gas-a-just seem the way to go. How do you like the ride in the rear with the extenders/shocks you just mentioned.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
 

Yes really lol. The purpose of me putting the shock extenders on was to correct the angle of the rear shock. My truck has never rode so good. It rides better than the wife's new SUV. That is the reason I still have the gas a just on. I love the ride!

The specs on the rear KYB I posted is Ext. 18.07 Comp. 11.57

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
 

Most likely, the problem lies more in the "near horizontal" angle than anything else.
