Re: slow ride (redux)

there are some pictures on page one, you can see everything but the actual pivot bushing. you have to have a tilt setup or some way to pull the rear tires.

funny story about that. we measured for shocks and figured out that some jeep rubicon unlimited shocks would fit perfectly, so I hit the local craplist and found some brand new takeoffs. the guy didnt just upgrade shocks though, he upgraded springs and lower control arms too. believing in the native american mantra of "use every part", I sold the springs on to a guy building a SFA toyota and we used the lower control arm bushings as the pivot bushing. I figure if it can hold up a 4000lb jeep, it could hold a tilt bed.




not bad for $50. oops I sold the springs for $25, so not bad for $25.
