Great job, and great thread. What has been your favorite shock set up? My Ascender Blazer (coming soon) I want to turn into a pick up body.

So far it is from the Italian guy he makes the best shock relocation for ascender in my opinion. As far as shocks go i really like proline scalers they r very smooth on this truck i am useing stock spring becouse i have antiroll and 45w in rear and 35 in front but thats tuned to my driving style

Nice list of parts Pete, I'm really happy and impressed that the axles at the top of your list has held up for over two years of "Pete's driving abuse"!
