Such a cool truck. I’d like to see more of it on the 4inch lift with those shocks.

[@Bassingtv]

Hey buddy what size sheet metal did you use for the inside curves

[@CodyCrafted]

18ga

[@oldbluechevy78]

Do you have part number for the fox shocks you used?

[@CodyCrafted]

I don't have the numbers offhand. There are universal Fox shocks that can be purchased by collapsed/extended length. The rears were not easy to find

[@oldbluechevy78]

@@CodyCrafted OK thank you for getting back to me

[@CodyCrafted]

Awesome. Keep those videos coming Brother. Loved it.

[@CodyCrafted]

Thanks! Will do!

I have an 86 k10 stepside with dual front shocks, what would the best shocks to run with it or would the reservoir shocks do the job. And then how did y’all mount them shackle wise was it all custom?

[@CodyCrafted]

I don't see any reason for dual shocks on a K5. We're very pleased with this setup for general ranch/street use. If you're jumping or wheeling harder than that, it needs a 60 and a link kit with coilovers and bypasses, IMO. What do you feel is holding you back or hurting performance?

[@reiseclark4908]

@@CodyCrafted the k10 trucks just came with dual front shocks and my dad who’s more experienced building stuff said he’d like to keep the dual but I didn’t know what the advantage is over a reservoir shock (rough country makes a dual front shock setup) but from your video don’t want to run RC. But truck is just street use with light offroad down dirt roads and stuff like that

[@reiseclark4908]

@@CodyCrafted what shackle do you use to mount newer shocks? I can’t find any info besides custom

[@reiseclark4908]

@@CodyCrafted just want to get away from stock suspension and be tall enough to run 35s

[@CodyCrafted]

@reiseclark4908 shoot me an email [e-mail] I've got the part numbers for these Fox 2.0 and we're using Skyjacker 4" full leaf setup

[@robertkoopman9267]

trying to get new suspension for my 83 k5 blazer. got any advice/suggestions

[@CodyCrafted]

This setup is pretty good, considering it's a short wheelbase and leaf springs. The Rough Country was exactly that. It felt like a wagon from the old west. I'd like to try the ORD 3 link at some point though

[@Camera_manOFFICIAL]

What’s the part number on those fox shocks I’d like to get some

[@CodyCrafted]

Shoot me an email [e-mail]

[@Camera_manOFFICIAL]

I sent an email a while back I know your busy just wanted to see if you know the part number on those fox shocks in this video. Thanks

[@keenanbarnard3169]

Send me a list of each part

[@CodyCrafted]

I'd be happy to send you an invoice for those parts and they'll show up at your house a few days later

[@JohnSmith-wb6kq]

Hi guys,Did the suspension upgrade improve street hand handling ?

[@CodyCrafted]

200% it rode like a Prarie schooner before. It's still leaf springs and a short wheelbase, but without going super duper flexible, I'd say it's as good as you're going to get

[@JohnSmith-wb6kq]

@@CodyCrafted Cheers bud, I've been chasing better street manners on mine for years, think I've got the the point that fark it, it is what it is, a lifted K5 haha

What setup are you running?
