    The ability to take it apart and put it back together without it falling apart, is what distinguishes the hand built from the production built.

    Trucker/Bus Fleet Shocks x4 on front is gonna stabilize that front differential? These Ozark Mountain river bottoms are rough on shocks. Seen several broken over the years. With this diesel and heavy transmission, thought why not

    Rear dual spring coilovers with 7/8” shock stem coming here in a couple weeks.

    Bigger is better? :-)

    There is no doubt the weight of those axles in a "rough country" will be hard to control. Heat will be the enemy. The shocks will definitely heat up in rapid stroking. Diameter is certainly your friend jb. The fattest shocks you can fit that's for sure!

    I had these custom laser cut here where I live.

    3/16 steel to spec(used calipers to measure everything out)

    I will be making a drill template, drill, pin with bolts, tig

    Online repops are cast(something). One set broke in mail. Second set broke before installation just from handling. Very brittle and only putting the caution out. These steal one’s should not break!

    Sweet emblems. The old pot metal originals are definately fragile, and are hard to source in one piece and not pitted beyond fixing.

    That is a really nice looking emblem. It looks right on the Monster.
