That's just under the Rod Hall H3 racing weight. Those foxes should be just the ticket for you :beerchug:

Very nice Bebe! Can't wait for a performance report. Do you already have the HD torsion bars on? If so, how are they?

Re: My new Shocks....soooo sessy ;-)
 

No the HD Bars are on order (being built) see the sticky in the general H3 section.

I can't wait!

Re: My new Shocks....soooo sessy ;-)
 

They look really awesome! I love stuff that works and looks great doing it.

King does make great shocks, and Brett and Lance King have always seemed like good guys, and they are a family buisness. I can respect brand loyalty. The Fox shocks are blue, mabye you can just put a King sticker on

Larry Plank was a great driver, I remember seeing him pass 2 other Protrucks, going 3 wide in Laughlin in I think the year 2000. Larry put on a great show for us that day, he was driving the crap out of that Protruck for sure.

So I've had these on since June or so. In August I noticed that the rear passenger side of the truck was sitting low. When I measured both sides (center of hub to bottom of fender) the rear passenger side was about 1.5 inches lower. I was at the dealer today for some maintenance and they looked at it and found nothing out of whack and suggested that the shocks need to be adjusted. Can that be done and do you think the shocks could be the problem? Thanks!

Too:raar: Rich for my blood:beerchug:

Re: My new Shocks....soooo sessy ;-)
 

So... any thoughts on adjusting these things? Do you think they could be the cause of the problem?
Thanks

Re: My new Shocks....soooo sessy ;-)
 

I don't think the shock is part of the problem (I also have the Fox shocks)... you could take the shocks off the rear, does the truck sit level, probably not. Yes, the shocks are pressurized, however, the 1.5 inch difference you noted is extreme and rules out shock problems. I believe the stock measurement from center of hub to fender lip is 24.25 inches. I would imagine you have a broken or bad leaf on the low side. You know, I once knew someone who had this problem after they changed their shackles... they had cinched down the shackle bolts before putting the truck on the ground, or had the shackle bolts cinched down way past spec.

The shock is adjustable. It depends on how much gas you are running and these things can be opened up and have the valves replaced. But I really don't think they would have something to do with your problem.

You might have better luck putting up a new post.

:iagree: The shocks don't support the weight of the truck. The leafs do. Have you gotten under there and checked everything - shackles, swaybar links, body mounts?

Re: My new Shocks....soooo sessy ;-)
 

Thanks. I looked at it and nothing looks broken. I didn't think to just unhook the shocks and see what happens. Duh. I'll try that. It's really just the dealer trying to get out of fixing something. They see I have aftermarket stuff and they immediately blame problems on that. Now it's up to me to eliminate the aftermarket stuff as the problem. I'll let you know what happens when I remove the shocks... and I'll post a new thread. :)

My greatest fear is that I will die and my wife will sell my H3 for what I toldl her I paid for everything........
