how long do expect all of this to take?  it's gonna be awesome when u're done, so definately worth all the time & effort :love:
 
I have the old shocks removed and the new shocks allready installed including the steering stabilizer and it handles so much better than before.I have still yet to install the body lift gap guards.I couldnt tell how long it would take to do all this because I did alittle bit each evening.I will post more pictures later today.

Not sure if you would be interested but I have a set of edelbrock IAS shocks that I removed from my superlift kit.  They are the brushed finish and looked sweet on my Ave.  Shocks have maybe 5000 miles on them.

Probably no where but your good old fasion paved streets.....Not doing any hard offroading with this ride.

Chicken.  >:D

Just kidding. I took mine mudding once....got to experience once, but I'll just stick to the puddles.  Looks really nice, that's for sure.

What was the reason for removing them if you dont mind me asking?So they have a polished finish to them?

I use to have an s10 I use to mud with all the time and it gets expensive after awhile but very fun.I have to much time and money raped up in this thing to do that all over again, but  would  love to have a spare for that reason but would have to hit the lottery first. :wave:

The finish looks more like a brushed stainess than anything.  I am changing my lift from a superlift bracket kit (dual shocks) to a Rancho knuckle kit.  I replaced the dual shocks on the bracket kit because I didnt like the superide shocks.  They were $400 to my door when I bought them.

How much was the fabtech tripple shock setup?  Did it come with shocks?

I believe I payed around 800. for the dual hoops,4 front shocks and 2 rear shocks and boots.
