Hey, it's an addiction. Can't help myself. and there is NO 12 step program. I can't leave anything alone. Got a supercharger on a motorcycle, turning my Nismo into a trackday beast, most of my guns have been modded, got plans for the new TrailHawk.

absolutely right if you can make it better and it needs to be changed out anyway, WHY not

What do you think i will be able to get out of my old suspension? the shocks look really good. i do not like to hold onto parts in the garage, so looking to sell my old stuff.

Suggestions?

You can probably get a few hundred bucks out of it. What exactly do you have?

RedMan · Post by **RedMan** » Sun Jan 20, 2013 9:02 am

I am going get it all cleaned up today and post a few pics. I was thinking the same thing a few hundred bucks as well, thanks

LOL- I bought my Power Wagon so I wouldn't have to do any mods. If my wife saw my list of things to do since I bought this truck she would be less than impressed.

So does this sound like a fair price for the following parts?

Coil Springs $150
Four shocks $100
Control arms $150
Leaf spring brackets $100
PW original wheel $100
standard mirrors $100

If anyone is interested let me know? Not sure what shipping will be. I will post pics soon.

i am not sure if the wheel will balance out, but i have been using it sense 2005 when i got the truck with no issues.

here is a pic of hte wheel on my truck which has been on my truck for the last two years.

if you're still interested send me a zip code and I will see what shipping will cost.

the dent in the rim is in the bottom right corner if you can see it.

UPDATE
so I have been driving "OX" for about a week now and I can say that this is the best purchase I have made

she drives as smooth as my wifes charger, the last piece of the test is once i go to Uharrie and run some trails. if anyone is looking to upgrade their suspension this is an awesome choice.

Thanks to Don it feels like i have a new truck now.

they're not hard at all to change out. I changed out the entire front end in about two hours. About the only issue you will have is removing the bolt for the upper control arm. the exhaust is right in the way

i used a large pri bar and was able to move the pipe just enough to get the bolt out, BUT it did drive me crazy until I figured out the trick.

if you have a bent control arm I am selling my stock control arms if your interested

I will sell them individually if I need to, this might be a great spare part to throw in the tool box for the guys who go off road a lot.

look at what I found at my front door when I got back from dinner with my wife

So, you went with the DT links after all? Very nice!

Yes I did, thanks. Called these guys up and informed them what I needed and that the original links they had was to short. I sent him a pic of mine with the measurements and an hour later he let me know that he has his site with the correct specs and also included links for lifted PWs as well.

These links are hugh, tonight when I remove my old links I will take pics to show everyone. I think we may have found what we have been asking for which is a good set of HD links.

They will adjust from 5" out to roughly 9" safely

I think I just found the next thing I'm ordering!!

Been waiting for the correct links since I bought the truck

Post by **SilverWagon05** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 9:33 am

Are they steel or billet? I'm still trying to decide whether to go with the DT units or Pure Performance. Thanks.
