    Seems very appropriate to me that the shocks for a bus would be the best option.

    Of course if you want to go to the next level, a set of King's would definitely get the job done.

    Hey I agree they make a good shock, just not interested in blue shocks. I do have some rear coilovers ordered for the rear, shipped yesterday. I hope to get these on next week.

    The look inside is so in contrast to the monster outside.

    Turns out I need heavier springs; sitting low in the rear.

    Someday…. :-)

    Definitely might want to consider some "help" in the rear. If you put a few big boy's in the back seat your going to be on the stops. How about a set of automatic leveling air bags?

    I blowed sealed in two steering gear boxes; time to figure out why?

    Blockage on the return side of the gearbox? Input or output side of the gear box? Either way you have some terrible spike in pressure to cause the seal to fail that quickly, unless the pressure relief spring in the pump is way too stiff, and the return is crimped or kinked.

    Yes, spiking pressure and need to see what it’s getting up to. I plan to remove spring in pump and make sure there isn’t any washers in there to increase pressure. If not, inline pressure relief valve. I could suggest its to reman’d gear boxes and the reason, but I doubt that since I’ve blown two. 3rd one is mounted and I’m going to approach this one as the problem isn’t the gear box.

    * inline pressure off pump line
    * verify pump spring
    * inline relief valve
