This looks great. I would be really curious to see a 2wd coil-over set up.

I'm thinking this would work great on the VHO/05-6 2wd SS. a couple inches of lowering Lowering without ****** with the spindles (I hated them sumbitches) or using dropped LCAS

Weld plates on the arms were the coils go.... attach the top in the same fashion as this thread using the stock shock mounting hole.

Just looking to confirm something before I order. Looking on Summit and Jegs website, it looks like the DS501 shocks come with bearing mounts and the DS502 shocks come with poly bushings. On the first page of this thread, it states the opposite. Can you confirm for sure what part number you used?

I probably typed them backwards. Get the bearing ones. The poly mounts will last a couple of minutes from the front end weight..
