Hi All,
Thanks everyone for your responses on the shocks. The
gist of it was:
KYB: KG5511 Rear & KG4507 Front (with slight
modifications)
Monroe:
20702 Rear & 5811 Front (with slight modifications)
I picked them up at my local Advance Auto Parts and got the
rears installed tonight, and I’m going to go out and do the fronts
shortly. I can tell already it will make a huge difference. The
rear is sitting about 3-4” lower than before – closer to the
correct ride height. I’m not sure what the previous owner was
hauling, but there were 7-leaf springs PLUS coil-overs on the rear. It
sat pretty high…
I also put in a new heater valve this weekend and noticed
the strangest thing. The new valve is identical to the old (a Ranco
something-16 I believe) in appearance and part number. However, this one
works the exact –opposite- of the original. Full warm on the lever
is off, and full cold on the lever is hot. Has anyone ever seen this with
a Ranco valve?
Thanks again all for your responses!
-Dave
