Looking great is that elty, got to admit that I think I may well of thrown the towel in if it had been my truck.

I've been close a few times Jim.

Cheers Rick,it went down a treat:thumb2
Feeling it now on my neck and shoulders from being in a funny position to weld up the inside of the chassis

Got the motor back together after work today:thumb2
Spring was looking a bit scabby so i took it into work and Shotblasted and powdercoated it in ultramarine blue.

Took some measurements and compared them to the ones i took before i started and they are all within 1mm so I'm happy.
Going to remove the spring and bump stop from the other side at the weekend and see what i find.
Got me paranoid now that it may also be rotted.

Shot blasting is the way to do it, love the blue, Rick

 

[elty001]

Here we go again.
Not as bad as the other side but being replaced all the same.

That was the easy bit.
The fun starts welding it in place.
Just been and fetched some more gas then its time to weld it in:thumb2

I know only too well how hard that is, my back suffers now due to the contortions needed, even with a hoist, Rick

[elty001]

All back together until i find something else:lol

Those bump rubbers/helpers look a bit solid/hard, Rick

Those bump rubbers/helpers look a bit solid/hard, Rick

You know Rick i thought the very same when i was working on the spring mounts and wondered if they have contributed to damaging them.
Rather than have the progressive cushioning the standard ones offer these will just be a full on dead stop.
My reason for fitting these was to stop the wheel hitting the inner rear wheel arch on full articulation with the longer shocks fitted.
May have to revert back to the standard ones.
