Power Wagon Registry

Parts are starting to role in, four solenoids for the winch and these:

Please keep track or post up where you got the solenoids from. This may be an item many of us will need down the road. Thanks Danny.

Can't wait to see the finished product & hear your thoughts on it.

I found the solenoids on eBay

The coils are the 3" coils (soft ride performance) for the power wagon

The shocks are the standard thuren 3" lift shocks

The shackles are the the 3 position .1" to 1.5" lift high performance shackles

The control arms are the V3 high clearance arms (arms will not be here until the beginning of the year)

Post up pics of the C Arms when you get them please ! I am SO looking forward to this setup Danny, it's about what i want to do i think.

will do, i am hoping that my control arms are waiting for me at the house when i get back home. currently in Biloxi trying to strike it rich

Let me know if you need help installing the parts. I've gotten pretty good at installing/removing everything in the front end from working on the truck so much...anyways I'm down in Wilmington now so only about 45 min from Jacksonville. We need to do some spring fishing as well. Hope all is well.

Will let you know if I need help. If you're ever in Jacksonville stop by for a cold one. This goes for all our PW buddies as well.

I here the trout are running good right now can't wait to get my hook wet again, it has been a long time coming.

Looking at a Tidewater 216 that is there in Wilmington, if I do not find a better one somewhere else I am most likely going to go with that one. The dealer is great to work with unlike the rest of the dealers I have spoken to

Sounds good and will do. I'll actually be in Jacksonville next Thursday evening. Going to an indoor pistol competition. It's a fun time. May grab a cold one with you afterwards. And sounds good you'll thoroughly enjoy the boat! Which dealer if I may ask? Bought our 20' Scout bay boat from Pages Creek Marine on Market St. in Wilmington.

just let me know and i will have the fire pit going and a cold on on ice.

I am looing at a Tidewater at Marker 17 Marine, they have a 216CC on the lot just waiting for me to hook up to. I am hoping it will be much sooner than later.

control arms are on the way

Looks good Danny. What setting did you put the rear on, looks like she's lifted a bit. How many miles on your grapplers now?

Sent from the middle of nowhere.

I put it on the highiest setting, and I have to say pictures do not do justice for her, as it is hard to tell that it has changed at all.

I will have to look at the mileage on the ticket when I bought the wheels, will get back with you on that one.

on another note, I noticed Ineed to get a longer brake line going from the frame to the axle on the rear. look at the pic below at the line going straight down from the frame to the axle. I bhave aout four inchies of sway in that line.


for the guys that have lifts on their trucks, have any of you had to replace that brake line?

go in this morning for my allignment and she will be done for now.

NOTES: my sway bar links are bad, what is your opinion on which ones to go with?

Great job on the install. The control arms don't look much longer than the stockers. Was it difficult getting your sway bar end links out, mine were.......give us a report back on the ride quality and a full side shot of how she sits today.

Sent from the middle of nowhere.

Danny, how much did the front springs raise the PW?

I will take some pics this weekend when I go to the beach for some fishing.

She sits about two to three inches taller than before and the ride is much softer IMO. I cannot wait to hit the trails, Uharrie will hopefully hope up in a few months and then I will be able to give yall a better update.

When I spoke to Don about what I wanted, I did not ask for a lift, just a suspension upgrade, however I am not complaining about the extra couple of inches.

Might have to do some Urban wheelin just to get some pics More to follow on that one. :idea

I looked high and low for these and no one really make a good set of replacement end links. Most aftermarket links are very poorly designed the OEM links are the best available in my opinion PN # is 05175052AA.
