Sway Away

BA was not much lighter than the arb when i had them side by side. Lighter cause it was basically a plate bumper with not much to no reinforcement. Junk

Which Shocks

For those feeling they need to mod to carry another 180 lbs, have you thought about letting dampers do the work rather than adding more spring? Adding preload to the torsions will get you to where you need to be height wise, but clearly the weaker spring and stock damper will let it cycle too fast, but if you bumped up comp damping, that issue should go away completely.

If you're adding a bunch of weight, and ONLY changing spring, but not damper, you're bound to have a ride you're not fully satisfied with. Added weight needs added damping to resist that weight better.

Even if you simply got any shock that is rebuildable, and found out what oil it runs, if it's running 7wt, put 10 in it... if it's running 10wt, put 15 in it. (keep in mind that adding thicker oil bumps up comp & rebound, where a good shock guy can add comp in about 15 min per shock, we call it a poor man's revalve) This is MUCH easier than swapping out torsions. I'm not saying NOT to do the springs, but doing JUST the springs is a poor solution.

Yes; I am also going to get the Light Racing Jounce Shocks -its hard to find a mechanic here in NYC that you can trust; Im even entertaining doing the welding job myself but I have a TIG with HiFreq, and Ive heard the HiFreq can damage the computers ...True?

About your shocks point; which do you recommend then?

4speedfunk - Im interested in seeing your build for aluminum bumpers. Will you be using 7005 for the tubing?

I was wondering about running the Light Racing Jounce Shocks, kind of interested in running them myself

I'm thinking about adding them
To mine they will help out high speed and are easy to
Adapt to the SAS

The guys who did "Project Trail Hugger" said they really felt it on the front end

I don't know if I want to go with that kit specifically or just get the parts and do it all my self when I do my SOA... The main reason i am thinking of going 100% DIY is I know the kit won't work for the front end and well the price of the kit...

On the other hand perhaps a rear kit would work on the front as well!
