Just a little problem with the install. Seems all 4 nuts on thea-arms are stipped so I had to drill them out and go to a longer bolts and drop new nuts in from the top. Not that bad but it did take a little more time.
Tires, brakes and shocks are all good to go but it will be Monday before I can take it for a drive, no insurance yet and its going to cold and rainy all weekend.

OK, the results are in; What a difference it all makes. Not saying that the shocks fixed the ride but it sure is nice not to bounce down the road.
