I went about installing the rear shocks today (Bilstein 5100's). The old shocks were a total pita. The passenger side I was able to literally break in half at the stud due to rust. The nut wasn't moving at all.
The driver side just took forever moving the nut one mm at a time. I'd get about...
I love this. This is exactly what I'm looking for down the road. Driving from Tennessee to Calgary for a trailer may be a bit much though [emoji23]

I found this relatively near me. I don't mind restoring but I'm limited in tools. I don't have welding stuff but I can handle some grinding, sanding, and painting.

We are getting close! Front springs arrived today and I had a local shop assemble everything. Just waiting on rear springs that are en route.

Awesome! There's beginning to be a strong group of us in this area. We are hoping for a get together soon however I have a newborn at home so it could be some time for me.

Suspension parts starting to arrive! Bilstein 5100's front and rear. I may go ahead and install the rear shocks tomorrow however I'm still waiting on Front and rear springs along with airbag delete kit.
Anyone know of any reason why I should wait and do it all at once?

Drove around a fair bit yesterday during the "break in" process and I'm pretty impressed thus far. I haven't done the fronts yet but it already seems to be much improved stopping power. No squeaks or noises whatsoever which is surprising considering this was the first time I've ever worked on...
You guys might get some snow tonight. Expecting about an inch here in Spring Hill just NW of where I assume you are. Stay warm!
