Once they were in new front shocks and alignment was also done.
Sits really nice!! On the hoist anyways--will know when I get her on the ground and in person.

Are those rubber or urethane mounts? Looking great as always!

Urethane mounts.
Picked the car up yesterday and rides a helluva lot better!!

 

[cbarge]

Before the new rear springs,I used to run 60 PSI in the air shocks just to keep the arse up.
Now,with a load and 25 PSI in the shocks she sits really nice.

[Ross Wooldridge]

Agreed!

Noticed any more noise being transferred into the cabin area from the urethane bushing?

Not really.
Fix one thing ya find another. .replacing the petrified sway bar links and bushings lol.
Before doing the mounts it was clunking and banging something awfull.
Sway bar job will make it 100% quieter.

That is does!
Still a handfull with three on da tree and no power steering!!

Factory radio delete. But the Thermoquad at WOT is music to my ears!!

Would it be possible to fit power steering considering everything else you've done to make a better wagon?
