Don, you're making me blush! Thanks man, but I think there are a few others that edge me out.

How is the UCA swap? Steering?


UCA swap went well and was relatively easy. Steering is good. Braking is great...much better than before.

The shocks I have are Old Man Emu Nitrocharger shocks. I can't remember any part numbers or such, but I'll see if I can dig it up somewhere.

The brake lines are custom made steel-braid brake lines and I had them made long enough to accommodate a 2" suspension lift.

As Don mentioned above, you will want longer shocks and longer brake lines. After the suspension lift (shackles or leafs, and t-bar crank w/bump-stop trim), when you max out your drop you will be bottoming-out your shocks. If you get longer shocks, then you will be putting tension on your brake lines.

If you're talking about shocks, yes, as I mentioned above they are Old Man Emu Nitrocharger shocks.

I've got all the parts for a shackle lift if anyone's interested in a good deal.
