swayaway 2.5s

from kustom1

http://www.kustom1warehouse.net/Sway_A_Way_Racerunner_air_shocks_p/56700-114.htm

they were best price back before i knew better.  larger shafts. good shocks.  id go for the 2.5s for anything.  lower running pressures and everything is bigger / better

100% if going air shock. I'd run them again as well - I'm sure I'm well beyond what they could handle, now, but they were a really good first setup on that machine.

My 2.5 sway aways from kustom one warehouse have been flawless.
My 2.0's have have leak down issues.
Def go 2.5
Don't forget a swaybar. ;)

On a second note the ORI shocks have internal sway control...Something or other.
Slightly larger body diameter than a 2.5 air shock I believe. Maybe not.
 But I know DJ from Jon fund has had great success with them.

ORIs are goofy... Neat, yes, but a Complicated solution to a problem that coilovers already solved.

$85/corner difference between 2.0 and 2.5

Is it really worth it?

Whats your target weight? if over ~3800, I say worth it.

Finally got the "lead" out and got back into the shop.

Put together the last outer knuckle assembly and mounted tire #4.  Yea!

Also reworked the y-link because the original was not set properly.  This version cannot stay because it twists/pivots allowing caster change.  Once final ride height is set, I'll fab another fixed y-link.



Also borrowed the bender from a generous guy and started to make this look more like a shell of a Willys.  Unless you've done this type of work before, you cannot fathom how time consuming it is!  ...and I ran out of tube.  More coming next week.
