What a detail re build, also the best part is the story and how well you handle the brake downs along the way, great job , how is the turbo performing? Did it make a huge difference? MY old 1008 tow pretty good with our farm stuff but east Tn. hills are tough on anything. Hey stonepicker you have more info on those shackle flips or are they dually only? 423 913 1775 Allenhillview

I don't want to highjack "ssdvc"'s thread. But answer to your question "allenhillview", yes the banks turbo made a big difference in power. You can't go any faster(top speed is top speed), but you can get to top speed in fewer seconds. Need to go with bigger tires now to gain more MPH. Haven't put the 6 inch lift on yet.

Shackle flip

Yes ORD? Who makes this , is it on vender list?

Give opinion ? Is webbing in 6.2 same as 6.5? Banks is offering 2200.00 full kit . MY best local guy in diesel repair says webbing was little different heat was issue. But if i respected it on the pyro it would do fine , for 60hp lbs --- don,t know thats what i want. It's always money though, change alot of stuff if swap someday(engines) only if if mine lays down 27,000m i'm older now things tend to mean more in the breaking it just to see what happens you know where i coming from? Pulling these hills is tough around 20,000lbs slow but good if you watch yourself but its what i wanted had plenty of newer trucks but i just like the stance of the 1008 .

Getting back to the original question, I bought all four of my ProComp ES9000 from 4wheelparts.com for around $130, and that included the shock boots, too. They are also for 0" to 2" lift, so they are longer than stock but don't bottom out on my stock suspension. I've been happy with them, even on my fat (7400 lb) M1010.

I ran procomps on my suburban. Good shocks for the price.

Allen look at my build thread for more info on the shackle flip.

I am running Bilstein 5125's. They ride really nice but are expensive.
