Re: 1972 Build thread.

1st of five 5125 Bilstien shocks showed up today... they were all due today.
The poor UPS guy looked like a train wreck... and I gave up trying to turn the two pics.

I did decide to go without the boots, and with them upside down from the traditional mounting style. Apparently the 5125 allows you to run them either way. I thought it was a cleaner look in my opinion. Also, since I am not running boots I figured it would help keep the seal clear from debris.

Now I impatiently wait for the rest to show up.

I am also waiting on my motor to come back from the machine shop. Yes!!!
I hope to see it in another week or two.

Funny item I ran into, more of an FYI. If you run the front 1-1/4" tie rod from Offroad Design without their add-a-leaf in the front it will hit the bottom of the leaf springs. Oh! And if you run the stock height steering arm it will hit the tie rod at full lock. So now I have to get rid of my drop pitmant arm, and buy a raised steering arm.
