Slam Specialty(UPDATE: 7-21-08)

I used Monroe part #34802 shocks on the rear of my truck. They are 14.00 collapsed and 22.75 extended which is 8.75 travel with hoops on both ends. Thats what worked for me. heres a link to their site for more info.



Just got to the mounting and length sheets and see if you can find something that works for you.

#31125 But they are Stem-stem design!

Are your shock mounts 14.5 inches apart layed out? if so I think the ones I'm running might work for you, just a half inch shorter.

about the fittings, any local lowes or home depot sells npt fittings.

13.25" eye to eye laid out... I guess I'll have to get stock shocks for the mazda again, cause thats what I used to set them up. If I had mounted the tabs any differently, I would have end up risking dragging the lower tabs on the ground when laid out.

I'm wondering though if its a real bad idea to have a completely collapsed shock when laid out? That therein is my problem cause I would have to get a diff shock to get some shock travel when laid out.

mazdawg, I was talking about PTC fittings. I don't think I've ever seen anyone carry push to connect fitttings?

yes ive seen ptc fittings at lowes before

Sounds like when I'm there tomorrow, I will have to get some then! While I'm there I should probably get a fitting for the tank gauge. Can someone get me a pic on how they plumbed their tank gauge line?

Eh, so I did'nt get much of whole much done today. Just finished the rear end in por-15 and stuff. Might do another coat tomorrow. If I have any brushes left, haha.



I was busy playing with my new:

What can I say... Its rated to cut ONE INCH THICK!!!! BIATCHES!

I need to go to Lowes tomorrow as well and get a 110 and a 220 head made for it and get some fittings to setup the airline to hook up to the compressor. Although, I noticed they forgot to add the torch switch connector!!!! I hope Lowes will have one... Can't play with it until it is hookered up! Gotta make a 220 extension cord too... Eh...

I will have to DEFINITELY get some video of it and review it a bit. Cause I got a SMOKING DEAL on this baby!

I won't recommend them just yet to you guys, cause I have'nt used it, but Seth has one of these puppy's and I'm sure he is grinning ear to ear with it like me! I have'nt even used it yet and 'am extremely happy to even have it, haha!
