Shocking!

Click Here for the Ebay Pretty of the Day!

"IM PRETTY SURE THIS TRUCK HAS LIVED ITS WHOLE LIFE ON A TRAILER OR IN A CHROME SHOP."
As it would have to with that atrocity of a suspension under it. But I'll give him this much: They didn't use blocks.

The REAL question before I place my bid is can I fit more shocks on the rear because I don't think that's quite enough to handle the kind of chrome shop I'd like to wheel it to.

My favorite is the three on each side to control axle-hop. Did Rancho run out of stickers, or did they just not have time to put them all on?

I wonder how much less it would weigh if you only had 1 shock per corner and no chrome.

Gotta give the seller credit he says right up front that he figures it's lived it's entire life on a trailer. And I will give him one more credit, and that is he didn't build it, but got to wonder about it cause he did trade for it. But the best part of the entire thing is look at the pictures closely, and look at the background in particular, that should tell you what kinda person would build something like that when you figure out what he traded it in on. (what I would really like to say would get me banned so I won't but I bet most get the idea)

id hope thats a trailer queen, cause it looks to me the pinion angle on that rear is all sorta outa wack. mabey i looked at it wrong but damn you spend that much money on chrome you think they would have done something with the interior too.



sorry it was the front i saw not used to the front pumkin being on the left

Is it me or is the front driveshaft angle horrible, but then again you may not need to lock in the hubs to get it on and off of the trailer.
