What04....

thx a bunch for the info! I was seriously looking at those shocks but now I won't. You are the fifth person to tell me a similar story. I put Bilstein's on my Z28 and it was awesome in the handling department. I will probably do the Roush thing in that case. I just have a couple of questions for them.
I wish KONI made a shock for these trucks.

thx again!

As soon as I get a digital cameraI will take pics. Purchase the box, driveshaft safty loop and Roll bar[show bar] from M&M MotorSports

 

sweet...that'll be cool if it helps out alot.

 

Anyone have pics of a battery relocation?

 

Was wondering that myself. I remember reading in another post something about an RV battery case for it?

Bitchin products 1(800)422-3903 makes a trick battery box. It has a closed lid and looks great. If you give me your Email I will email you a picture. Don

I haven't relocated the battery in my L yet, but I did in my tc kline BMW (behind the passenger seat). I had an Optima gel-cell installed, they are completely sealed, no maintenace, take heat better and save a little on weight. Many off-road racers swear by them -- so far I am very happy with the change. You could even put one in the cab if access is possible from below. Good luck.

Sorry about not posting any pics.If any of you were up at the WFC I had both trucks there and the 99 had the battery under the bed.Been busy at work and been racing and getting ready for the events in NV.,so haven't had time to take any pics of the battey in its new location,or reweight the truck Will also post better pics of the roll bar .Hope I can remember how to post them now.

 

I WILL BE PUTTING ON A REAR IRS SUSPENSION MADE FOR THE LIGHTNING IN ABOUT A WEEK. I WILL KEEP YOU INFORMED ON MY PROGRESS.

 

If I understood right Koni will be using measurements off of my truck to make some prototype adjustable shocks. I believe we are doing the measuring tomorrow, I will keep you all informed.

Talk to alot of people and they will tell you.....you cant go wrong with Bilsteins. Over the years, the best shock for most applications in my opinion!!!!!!!!

 

I'm looking for something more aggressive than the bilsteins. Are shocks like tires and weight rated? I want to put some adjustable shocks on, but I suspect that auto racing shocks couldnt handle the lightning's weight and rancho adjustables would be too bouncy.

Ideas?
