Stalwart the pictures are great! What is the travel on these shocks?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Problem with that thought is two compleatly different spring set ups front to rear on his unbobed truck.You would be surprised how much shocks help. If you don't think so take off your front shocks. Your front end is under a load all the time!!
Vintage iron I agree with your pressures on the 177s but not the 14.00s the wheels on most of these are only rated at 80 psi.You only need to shocks, this is the way R model smacks did it. It won't be a costly projects to do. I think a lot of you bounce is coming from the sidewall deflection. You need to run higher pressure to get rid of sidewall bounce. I have all my customer run 70 PSI on rear and 90/100 on front G177s 1100s and 60 PSI rear with 90/100 PSI on 1400s. If you run harder tires they wear better and make the suspension do the work. I have do front stock mounts off a M923 for the frame side and I would recommend a piece of sold 1x2 bar stock for the axle side mount. This is the way Mack did it.
