stiffness.
The shocks are 46mm Bilstein aluminum body/ 7" shafts; from ebay. I happen
to have a full set of shims, but didn't need them. The "test drive" with 14
70# sandbags in the back was dead level and handled better than I'd ever hoped.
Here's the "empty" ride height:
I have it torn apart to add a rebuilt 3.64 diff and 16" wheels from a W140.
My newest "winter beater" -- hopefully on the road before spring!
Nice folks at CSP, courtesy of Brian Carlton's recco; very reasonable.
