Old Truck Rides Like New Again!
Changing the and replacing the worn out shock absorbers on Any vehicle can make an old car or truck ride like new again! To change the shock absorbers is a relatively easy and straightforward process and can be most of the time be done in your very own driveway using just hand tools. The shock absorbers on my OBS Chevy truck were in pretty rough shape, but after swapping out the old ones with some brand new KYB gas-a-just monotube shock absorbers, it literally rides like a brand new truck again!
Total time involved to do this process took less than an hour and all four shock absorbers costed me less than $300. It was well worth the time and the money because in certain driving situations, the truck was pretty dangerous to drive beforehand the way the back of the truck would dance all over a bumpy, washboard road. Now the truck feels “planted” and therefore feels much safer. It even feels much better in turns with less body roll than before!
Thanks for watching! 🫡

NEW 4” Lift Spindles on the OBS Chevy C1500
zhlédnutí 2KPřed 8 měsíci
Ever since we did the LS Swap in the OBS, the truck has always had a mean squat in the front and it makes the truck look tired. Not to mention that the 5.3 LM7 Oil Pan hangs below the crossmember about 2.5” which puts it in a pretty vulnerable spot so I ordered some 4” Lift spindles online and figured that I would include you guys in on how to install them. The spindles were actually quite simp...

    • @siTTinLo

      The bag mounts were custom and were facing the rear of the vehicle. I used Slam Specialties RE7 bags I believe and got plenty of lift. The bridge bar tied both sides of the frame rails together and had the upper bag mounts built into it and it also had gas than mounts and the evap box thing built into it. I might be able to find pictures of it somewhere but I built this truck back in 2010 and I don’t recall specific details.

    I know this is an old video, but was wondering if anyone knew what rear bag setup he had, was it a four link, did it lay frame, did it have custom wheel wells, how’d he keep the rear seat? Sorry, about all the questions, but I just picked up one of these two door blazers and I’m going to bag it also. Any answers or advice will be appreciated. Thanks,Rick

    • @siTTinLo
      @siTTinLo Před 4 měsíci

      Everything was custom. We gutted the interior and cut a hole in the floor for easy access. Triangulated 4 link, custom upper bridge bar which functioned as the upper bag mounts as well as the front of the gas tank mount. Rear facing custom made lower bag mounts. Custom rear shock mounts, custom C notch fully boxed on all sides. Custom brake lines. Custom exhaust. Custom fuel lines and relocated emissions box. The section of floor removed was then custom fitted to become a removable access panel. The front was all basic s10 stuff wit tubular A arms. Truck did not lay frame with the 20” wheels and tires but was plenty low enough for Michigan roads and nothing was gutted under the hood. This truck had fully functioning air conditioning and everything. The front is easy, the back is where you have to get creative. There’s a lot lower blazers out there but I bet none of them have the stock folding rear seats and working AC. But the goal with this truck was to have a reliable family cruiser that the client could cruise comfortably with his children so I didn’t go wild on it. It was a lot of work.
