Man I hope no one feels as though that statement came across the wrong way. I wasn't bragging - I was kind of marveling that this damn thing is actually mine! It's been both an awfull fun time and bittersweet one doing this. I'm thankful I've been able to do it and thankful of all the great folks on this site that I've learned from.

Well I don't know you but I assume you worked hard for your stuff and you should be proud of it [emoji106][emoji106]

Since I was dropping the rear springs from the upper buckets after the LA install new shocks were on order. Talked it over with Drew at ORE and decided on the King 2.5's. Just came in and now I have a fun weekend project - screw weed whacking the damn fence line. :yup:

Your build just gets nicer and nicer sir! I'd really like a set of those 2.5's myself.

Which need to be rebuilt and massively cleaned

I've often wondered what CO guys do when that happens. Is Knuckles going to be up on blocks while you get them serviced or can you run springs in the meantime?

I talked to Drew about the cleaning aspect of these. That's one thing the shocks do have over the coilovers is no slider rubbing anywhere. But still, there's really nothing you can do coating wise other than do a spray on detailing wax constantly, which is what they do. I may even remove the damn things in the Winter months to try and preserve them.

I have a new daily driver so he will just be on jack stands during that time.
