Please help, Trying to ID suspension bits and improve ride
Posted: Tue Sep 12, 2023 7:42 am
Hi errbody, trying to ID the suspension on my 89 GW because it's like driving a tractor and I'd like to get it a little more civilized. I do guess that it's aftermarket, but very limited on part numbers.
Here's what I've got:
Shocks: White with no bellows, ID on the shocks (all 4) say "R26" then X067H1 I was unable to google anything useful on these shocks, so I guess they came as part of a suspension kit.
The tires are BFG AT/KO 33"s on stock wheels, and this is what the stance looks like: On the rear axle there are lift blocks, don't appear to have index holes, thus the truck crabs somewhat, gotta fix that. Like I said, the ride is extremely harsh and unforgiving, so I'm wondering if the springs might be aftermarket as well. The shackles look to be original. The truck has a BJ's Offroad exhaust, Holley Sniper FI system, aftermarket headers and intake manifold too, so it's definitely been modded to a degree. I bought this sight unseen from a dealer in Florida where it had been registered to a small biz since 2018 and prior to then was California titled. The VIN ends with 109984.
Thanks in advance for any advice/help you can give!
Best,
Scott Brawner
