UPDATE: Happy St. Patrick's day!!!

So I went to The zone today and got $340 worth of misc parts. Complete rear brakes including drums, pads, and the all-in-on spring/pin kit. Also picked up some cheapo shocks cause they were on sale. Also got some Royal Purple, and sea foam

Today I will be attempting to install the shocks on all four corners. I say attempt becaue the Irish side will be coming out in full force (even though I'm actually Welsh) My buddy is coming to the house @ 10am to get the "project" started.. I figure we'll be done by sundown! LOL Still waiting on my superchips, RR's, TB, front brakes/pads, and air horns to come in... I hope some of the stuff comes tomorrow or the day after. Pics will be posted tomorrow evening (maybe)

They trick to motor into thinkings it's been cammed... ie: allows the valves to open more compared to stock which lets in more air/fuel and allows more combustion gas to escape... at least that's how I understand it... give a longer duration for lift and compression

You should do the 1 ton rear WC upgrade. I'm going to do it when it gets a little warmer.
