Thanks! This truck took a lot of abuse in the past, but I am just finishing up about 6 years of this being my weekend hobby restoring it. The shocks are new "SX8000 Nitro gas shocks" that came with the lift springs from Suspension Connection. They've got maybe 60 miles on them now but they've been on the truck 5+ years.
