[QUOTE="boardbysled, post: 1565054, member: 18596"] Worked on this a bit today for the first time in a few months... got a 2.5"x8" Surplus Center Ram. [IMG]http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u636/boardbysled/Mobile%20Uploads/20170303_172027_zpslu2tr26a.jpg~original[/IMG] Was able to take a closer look at some of the stuff in the parts pile. Kinda disappointed with the quality of the FOA shocks and bumpstops. But they aren't leaking oil yet and the price was cheap enough to put up with some cosmetic issues. Not sure on the dual rate slider with 2 short sides though... [IMG]http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u636/boardbysled/Mobile%20Uploads/20170304_163510_zpscavwuxio.jpg~original[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u636/boardbysled/Mobile%20Uploads/20170304_163600_zpsf1wwlodp.jpg~original[/IMG] Hard plastic pads on the bumps should hopefully mean they are at least somewhat quieter then the all aluminum style. [IMG]http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u636/boardbysled/Mobile%20Uploads/20170304_164036_zpsft2q9uop.jpg~original[/IMG] Looks like they should fit good on the rear axle. Little worried about fitting 2.5" on the front, guess we will have to see when I get it all mock'd up.
