Well, you're in the right place to get some help.
If someone doesn't chime in, another good place to look is Chris Alston (CAChassisworks) he has a wide selection of different mounting options. You'll have to scroll through his catalogs, he's got a ton of them, haha.

Nice, looks great. Not quite sure what I'm going to do. My Tahoe has a 4 link already but its not convenient for anything wider than 9" wheels. That's going to be a project in itself haha.

My truck is stock height in the front and just lowered in the rear to level it out. I'll be using either QA1s or the Viking shocks.

Stay tuned!



Current ride height--

Man, this is going to be good. I'm really looking forward to this.
Great looking truck to.
What drop are you going for? Are you going to be using spindles to?

Thanks

Its a conventional Tbar style mount. Just about every shock maker has that mount (or an adapter kit) on off the shelf parts. Viking, ridetech, fox, qa1, etc.

Atomic, if i could make a suggestion for your NNBS coilover mount : weld the 3 mounting bolts to the bracket (creating studs). It will be significantly easier to install and tighten the hardware for the bracket. Just my $.02

Yep, Eric just hit me with that suggestion as well, and its a good idea. I just needed the length of the bolt first (which he told me). He will probably post up some pictures here soon.

He's got a nice selection. Like atomic said, most other companies will have them as well.

I have not looked into any at the moment. I went with Afco on The rear and if I can find them in the dimensions I need up front I'll stick with Afco.

121,
After looking through the pics you posted I saw the Afco blue shocks. Have you had any luck looking for them in the size you need?

Hey atomic, any news?
