[QUOTE="Flyer58, post: 430791, member: 18629"] Well I waisted 10 minutes trying to loosen the top nut on the front shocks and ended up spending 15 second cutting them off with an angle grinder. Nobody got hurt. I came across two other issues. The passenger side shock has a big dent in the cylinder and I'm curious how that happened. There's no sign of front axle damage repair or shifting. Maybe someone had the shock out and bent it trying to put it back in. also I found there's barely 1-1/2 inches of travel before the rubber bumper hits the axle housing on both sides with no lift kit. I've used a 1-1/4 in square tube for reference. Any idea roughly how much space there should be? Time for springs? [ATTACH type="full"]118150[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]118151[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
