sounds good man. your makin a bunch of sets and they look great so im down for waiting. plus coilovers arent in yet so it doesnt really matter

 

When I get them I'll send you a PM and we'll have a minimeet and do some mods.

 

Found some money again, I think (gotta clear with the wife, I'm in Iraq)

What are the chances of you just mailing the pieces out unwelded? I could do the test fit and weld here. Maybe just mark them as to how to assemble or something?

 

You are borrowing a truck already! Quit bein' a slacker and get this stuff sent out to these guys!


And don't park my truck in the driveway unless you want oil spots on it.

Feel free to start designin' some bolt on sliders for it too.

 

shoot me a pm and we will talk.

 

Sounds good!

 

The mini-meet X2, wonder what it will cost to fly to TX/AZ with a welder... ?

 

Here is an update from Nick at ORW...

Well I would just like to start out by saying how patient everyone has been with the group buy. I know in my last e-mail to all of you it said that they would ship the middle of this week. Well I had to place a call into FOX yesterday because I had not received the order yet and was a little concerned; they told me they would be done and ready to ship out by now. I was told that they are still working on the order and will be finished and will be ready to ship out by Wednesday next week. Sorry for the delay, I apologize and will let you all know when they are ready to ship. If their are any questions please contact me at the information below. Check out our back to the desert sale 25% off Bilstein and 10% off Fox shocks call for some special prices for those of you part of the Ranger-Forums community.
thanks

Looks like a little hold up.

 

I got my shocks (bought em before the group buy... dangit)

just waiting on the hardware to mount 'em!

 

any updates?

 

Updates for the peeps?

 

shipping them out as i get them made. should have all the ones that need to be powdercoated sent out tomorrow along with like 3 other orders. got more than that made but there are several of yall that ordered support bars and im making those as well. but i should have the rest of them shipped out on monday!

thanks for being patient.

 

Cant freaking wait! this is the final stage of suspension upgrades for my truck... soon as these are in, Im all done lol

 

can't wait either man! Even tho i wont get the coilovers for some time just the fact that i can put coliovers on is AMAZING lol

 

anyone plan on replacing lower A-arm bushings while under there??

 

why would you?

 

Has my hardware been sent out yet? If not, any update? Just wondered so I can start making plans for installation.

 

I have to ask this again... Is there any other hardware we need to do this installation besides what comes in the "kit"? Bolts for example? do the bolts go through the eyelets in the schocks, or do we need bushings for them? I want to be totally ready when i get my stuff!

 

bolts go through the shocks. no busings. and i will be including all the nuts and bolts youll need.

 

because mine have 120k on them and they look like **** and squeek and rough etc lol

 

I have been thinking about both the uppers and lowers.

MOOG has oversized uppers and lowers, a little pricey but while things are apart get it done. These OD Ball Joints/Arms have replaceable Ball Joints if they wear out.

I am replacing my rear springs with 6" SkyJacker Leaf Springs, more to get rid of the blocks but I figured let start out with all new stuff.

ltr,

 

Check rockauto.com for complete lower arms--

I got some from oreilly for 100 per side-with new bushings and ball joints installed.

 

Since install is probably coming up soon for most of us doing the C/O conversion I have a question. Are there supposed to be bushings or something on either side of the C/O or just a gap like in the pic? If there is supposed to be a gap how much of one? Just seems like a gap would let it bash around some and slide back and forth. (same question goes for the bottom mount as well)

 

on mine, since i have the actual rcd stuff, i put washers in there to fill the gap. the ones ive been making, ive been making just a tad bit wider than the fox coilovers with misalignment spacers. so they will fit almost perfectly

 

so... does anyone actually have the kit yet? anyone get the swap done yet?
