just getting ready to pull all my suspension F&R. Skids coming out to get my C-36 shocks out for a rebuild, rail reinforcements and an SC-3 heavy 4 wheel axle.
front clickers are going out to MonsterPerformance also and the A-arms coming off to install 16 bronze oil-lite bushings. A little powder coat may fall on some pieces as well.
finally have 4 rebuildables for hers, front monotube clickers and C-46 rears so I'll need to pull her skid also here soon.
She wants to pick up her ave. speed some and it takes ride quality/compliance to do that...she sees me blow by her accelerating hard thru the 70's in foot or so trash all relaxed and comfortable, and a 50-60 pace in moderate moguls without getting beat-up...
it's all about my shock guru Ian!
Service (inc. chaincases now holding Redline synthetic), and detailing on both, including a fistfull of cosmetic (both) and performance mods on mine were done in the spring. I didn't send my shocks out then 'cause you don't want them sitting around for 7-8 months on the nitrogen charge. Plus now I have 8 to send to him so he does one for free and free return shipping as well if I send them down with my buddy to the Big East show in a couple weeks.

plus I just bought another used open trailer for cheap that needs a little Rippem style fix-up.
I'm only keeping up because I have so much time off.
I can't imagine how little I'd get done if I was a five day a week grunt.

BTW...how's that house of yours coming?
NOW...
back to your regularly scheduled drunken and gay programming.
