Hey yall I lowered my 60 f100 with 2 1/2" sids drop axle and reversed the eyes on the springs and removed two of leafs. Now my question to you guys is where do I get good shocks for the front and rear thanks
Napa will have a reference book. Just need to measure your length and compensate for travel. I think I saw a diagram that helped figure it out. will post if I can find it.
you can go on the monroe page and theres a link to alot of their offerings listed by mount type(s) and expanded/compressed measurements and travel rate. i spent about 3hrs with it the other day finding cross matches for jag clipped stuff....
specs fo stock http://www.monroe.com/en-US/catalog/e-Catalog/5826 spec book of lenghts/mounts http://www.monroe.com/***ets/downloads/english/MonroeMountingLengthSpecifications.pdf mount types for that list are S4 or S42 compressed 10.125 extended 16.375 travel 6.25 monroe part number 5751 may be a decent cross S4/S4 8.50 compressed 13.44 extended 4.94 travel pn 5758 S4/S4 9.375c 14.625e 5.25t 5829 S4/S4 7.125c 10.75e 3.625t 66110 s4/s4 9.00c 11.75e 2.75t 555001 s4/s4 7.875c 11.875e 4t 555025 s4/s4 8.625c 13.5e 4.875t i went through the list pretty quick but i think i grab most of the s4/s4 that are shorter than the stock applications...ken,,,,
Did you drive it yet? How's it handle? I dropped mine 3 inches and am trying to work out some steering issues. It's all over. New linkage, tie rod drops and all. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
My pops did the 3" sids axle and tie rod drop and has 0 issue. Have you set the caster or toe at all on a rack?
I think that the shocks that I bought are just too bouncy. I'll get the brand next time I am under her for one to avoid. They were listed as stock replacement. I think I need something stiffer.
