BTDT, nope.

Need a 14mm ID bushing with 3/4" OD. Even a 19mm OD would probably work. End of the day, if you're using a steel bushing, you'll need a consistent bolt shaft size with the appropriate sized sleeve for the proper fit.

I can hear my shocks on every bump, etc. Even JasonZ29 noticed at the track when I was standing on the rear bumper and jumping on it.

 

BTDT??

I'll get some measurements today and see what's going to have to happen. If I find anything I'll let you know.

 

Been there, done that. I called Viking and a couple of other places. They weren't interested in modding the bushings.

 

Weird, they told me to just let them know what size bolt I had and theyd fix me up.

 

What size did you tell them?

 

Bliss. I wish I would've thought if this sooner.

At least temporarily, I've fixed my upper shock mount rattle. I did two wraps of duct tape around the bolt shank. Tightens up the gap and gets rid of the metal-to-metal contact.

It'll work until I can get custom upper shock bushings made or I do something different with the rear like shock relocation.

 

couldn't find any bailing wire?

 

Nothing like duct taping the shocks on a brand new truck. lol

 

 

I'm still excited to see how this all fairs out. Patiently waiting, I'd love to order a set of coilovers for the spring. The front is just too soft in mine right now, a stiffer, more balanced setup would definitely be a benefit.
