Excellent Product - Chassis

This kit and its contents speak for themselves. I'm amazed at how well the kit performed. I would recommend using a ball joint press instead of the cheap torsion tool sold here, it will make the job a lot easier. I would say fitting the front shock takes between an hour and an hour and a half. and 30-45 minutes to complete the back. I didn't remove the tires or throw away the spare tire. This product comes in great packaging and is well made. Everything has good coverage and all devices are in good condition. I've worn quite a few of these alignment kits. However, this is my first rugged country kit. I'm excited to see how the kit holds up. I think that's the way to go if the shocks are worth the damn. Most trucks need new shocks, and shocks cost about $30 each. So why not buy 4 pieces at once? I'll let you know how shock absorbers wear out over time. (continued) I've put about 2,000 miles on this kit and I'm still happy with it. UPDATE: I have 8000+ on the truck now and the shocks are still holding up. Overall I am very happy with this kit. Thinking about installing this kit, I noticed that I have a lot more "buoyancy" in my torsion bars. I could shake her up a bit. However, the rear block limits the distance you can travel. An easy way to solve this problem when aiming higher. Buy an overload spring for your truck, it is easy to install and will greatly improve truck towing. GM trucks of this era seem to squat a lot if towing a new spring would solve that problem.

Pros
  • Excellent Overall Performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
