no, they sent me the right box but the wrong shocks

 

Oh, okay. Need to get some myself so I was awaiting your review.

 

Altair has had them for a while and he say they are pretty nice.

 

I have the toyo prose st 265/50r 20 and pulled them off, they were rubbing on the frt suspension, you may be ok with the spacers, but stock the ride was terriblle, put about 300 miles on them, been sitting in basement for 2 years, still on rims

 

I'm quite happy with them. All of the credit should go to Blown287 for finding them though, he's the one that told me about them.

 

Hopefully the proxies ST 2 are an improvement then. Can't get much worse than my mismatched setup I have now. I made sure to get a wheel with no inner clearance difference, it all goes out, shouldn't rub hardly any inside, I can trim a bit if needed for outside clearance.

 

Thanks Rich. Another example of going outside the box to find stuff for the Daks, lol.

 

Update, I got the intermediate pipe installed so now I have no resonators and just the Thrush welded muffler. Sounds mean.

I got everything so far except for the rims and the belltechs. The tires look great. Chances are, I won't be able to get everything done until after the 1st of the year. I am probably going to install the lowering shackles for the rear tomorrow when I have an hour or two, and I will probably get the wheels installed as soon as they arrive this week.

Then it's just all the front end stuff, cut coils, brakes, struts. which I will prbably do all that at the same time on a weekend, not this one though sadly.

 

Ok, so I got the shackles installed and the rims arrived.

I tell you.. putting them shackles in was a sinch on the passenger side but the drivers side took 3x as long thanks to the bottom bolt. The shaft inside the rubber bushing had rusted pretty bad and practically anchored the bolt in there. I dropped the spare tire so I could have a direct hit and as hard as i could hit, it didn't budge, and that was after a PB blast soak.. Half a can of PB Blast more and a unique method of persuasion I finally coaxed it loose. A wirebrush, good wipedown and the bolt looked perfect, so I reused it.

I still have no idea what's happening with the belltech shocks, autoplicity says they ordered them from belltech and have emailed them multiple times and haven't heard anything.

Here's the truck with the shackles and some juicy pics of the new rims being unboxed.
