HD Torsion Bars have been ordered!!!

[6pack]

Thanks Sewie.

Clips are on. I got a reward for letting someone else do my work for me. The clanking I heard as I got close to home today, that I thought was the reservoir hitting the A-arm, was actually the passenger side, front shock itself banging all around! The nut and bushing that holds the top of the shock on was gone! The guy must not have cranked it down. So I got a replacement bushing and washer from him but it's not stock. Should I order up a replacement?

As a bonus, the bolt and nut that came from Fox with the clip did not match. The bolt was coarse thread and the nut was fine thread, and the bolt wasn't long enough anyway. :/ So after two trips to Home Depot I got the right length bolt, right thread nut and a lock washer for good measure. And the truck got a bath afterwards. Ready for the t-bars and shackles!

After a few emails with Sam at Samco, it seems they gave me everything I needed. The fine threaded nut was for the shock and the coarse threaded bolt was a self-tapping bolt for the clip. Wish that would have been spelled out some with the instructions. A few extra words would have gone a long way to saving me a lot of aggravation.

So if you look under there to see your thousand dollar shocks, do tell us did they make a differnece in the ride of your H3 and was it good or bad. And what I am curious about is does it ride/handle better going down the dirt roads.

about the same.

Thanks for your help trailerpup.

I do not notice any difference on the road. Maybe slightly stiffer. It will be a month or so before I have a chance to get off-road. But it is one piece of bling I like to see.

good deal. We will see the difference when we put HD Torsion Bars on there. Just remember when anyone asks, that these Fox shocks are Bad ASS!!!
