Alsright, got some good pics of the hubs now, thanks for those guys!

On to shocks. Keep in mind this project has changed to a 19" WB MT that will likely run a set of super bolt on tires with half offset 40 series wheels. Gives me about 18" width.

So what should I use for shocks? Currently have the 8 "small bores" that came with the X SS kit. I do not mind going to other brands, but would like to keep the costs down, as I am cheap.

I will get a weight on everything tomorrow, might help with shock selection.

4 Flux shocks. Use either one of the following springs:

#86553 SHOCK SPRING 18x80x1.8mm 12.5 COILS (WHIT 159gF/mm)
#86554 SHOCK SPRING 18x80x1.8mm 11.5 COILS (YEL 177gF/mm)

Standard Flux spring is

#86551 SHOCK SPRING 18x80x1.8mm 14.5 COILS (PINK 134gF/mm)

You can pick up the Flux shocks on ebay pretty cheap; granted not as cheap as the older Savage shocks, but oh well.

Looks like the shocks will run about 10 bucks each shipped. I am guessing the stock springs will be a bit weak? I will weigh my truck and you can tell me if the white or yellow springs will be better. I plan to bash it so I am guessing the yellow will be the way to go.
