[QUOTE="BlueOvalF22, post: 1582447, member: 43002"] The bucket mod to run these right is back ordered for quite a while do to COVID. No way are these a simple bolt in.. Sorry. It's now going to be Baja/Brenthal stock length lower arms, Camburg 1.25 tubular UCA, Baja/Brenthal front king Bumpstop, king ext res dual rate coilovers with a SVC LT kit style hat and a 3 tube front bypass shock at the end of the build. I might d*ck around with upgraded CV's and lowering the axle to put ride height CV angle at a better place than where they land when the front is leveled with a +1 rear. Because of the timing of things like moving and Covid backorders on shocks.. I've got 2gen shocks to run temporarily. So I'm thinking do the BK LCA's and BK king bumps or weld in Icon bumps like Camburg did with their dual shock LCA. To run the 2nd gen fronts, disassemble, cut down and machine a 2nd gen shock shaft shorter, reassemble. Put the 1G hat and spring on with NO RUBBER BUMP STOP at all. Why?, because it makes room to swing the longer shock body and also because of the N2/hydro bump stop. Over the long term, what I'm sure will happen with these shocks is that a shock shop will tear them down, machine the shock body with an additional lower perch clip groove, delete the live valve stub, and when they reassemble swap in a modified shortened shaft. Then tell people to run an external bump stop. [/QUOTE]
