for rear shocks i was thinking Fox Shocks 14" Travel Pro Series 2.0 with deafer 62" f55 leafs
havnt looked at bilstien yet but if i do anything other than the fox shocks listed above id go with some comparable to them.

and yes i will post a video as soon as it fires!
heres a list of what i got to do to get running and I'm not sure exactly how I'm going to go about it

-external fuel pump wired up with a regulator
-the throttle cable ..(if i don't figure it out tomorrow ill post detailed pics on how its routed so maybe i could get some help on the best way to do it
-maybe the msd ignition but i think i can hook it up i got the diagram

ok well i didn't get ANYTHING done today! had to do PT ..anyways
heres a few pics of the carb set up u can see in one of the pic i have my finger on the lever that controls both carbs well it has to be pulled down ...so I'm not sure how to do it the best/right way ...i don't want to rig it ya know i want a good fix for it so any help is greatly appreciated

and i also loaded some pics of the suspension ..hopefully i get out early tomorrow and get something done on it idk..
y'all think i should hook power steering up? I'm strong enough to turn it ..its not like I'm rock crawling...high speed thru the desert is what I'm doing

is that linkage where the throttle connects to removeable?? can you just twist it 180 and have the cable pull up? doesnt look like theres much room for that tho..

yea i looked at it today ...im going to have to have a bracket made and longer throttle cable to pull it from the bottom in between the two carbs,

it won't be started this weekend ...i have to order some AN fittings a fuel regulator and maybe a lower psi fuel pump..but I'm going to meet up with the guy doing my exhaust tomorrow, he's very knowledgeable about motors and all that and he's gonna show me some ideas and he will possibly fab me a bracket for my throttle when he does my exhaust

so not much "work" done on my truck just more spent money and a better game plan this weekend...but oh well I'm learning the hard way so after this install maybe i can help others out!

hey hey hey ...
got it running..the timing was all messed up . at TDC the distributor was at cylinder #3 so we fixed that and fired right up!!
so its off to the exhaust shop the 20th, and I'm going to find a good tune shop to get it tuned for me. idk how to sync dual webers so I'm going to leave that to the pros.

heres some fun pics i took just because the valve cover was off ....mhm purple fluids
