Having spent stupid amounts of money on 22R's years ago, I am firmly in the swap to a newer motor camp. The best combo I had was 20r head that had the chambers welded up and reshaped to mimic the 22R's. It was then ported within an inch of it's life. I cut apart a couple old heads to get port...

Much more than stock redline gets hard on parts, these motors have a horrible rod ratio. Elgin and Schneider both make good cams for them. The intake manifolds do not flow well and the exhaust is pretty bad to. A properly sized turbo works wonders. A stock CT20 off a 22RET is junk.

What you need is to open up a bleed hole. This will stop the small stuff from transferring to the chassis and still have valving for the big hits. Also, these shocks are not to much for what you are doing. They have a lot of adjustment which cheaper units do not.

Aurora lights.

Are those just regular push locks or something else?

Depends on your driving conditions. Similar to a Bronco tailgate, street driven ones last forever. Head down some washboard roads and a few hundred miles later the skin is separating from the door. This is why you see the swing out tire carriers mounted to the bumper.

This is why my trucks get power washed underneath then hosed down with LPS3 every fall. Road salt is the devil.

Your brake lines are next.

Bilstiens come either nickle plated or powder coated yellow. They do not sell bare shocks.

Bilstien makes shocks in different lengths for lifted vehicles.

No wear parts, the only time I had to tap the brakes was if one tire was in the air. If both tires are on the ground even just barely, you will not need to.

Bummer!

Wait, what happened to the solid spacer? What is this crush sleeve BS?

Thats not that much shavings for a new set of gear. Did you rub it between your fingers to determine particle size? Very fine is ok. large and chunky is not.

You should replace your rubber tires with steel wheels then......

Be aware that they need to rotate a little to engage. They work of ramps, the rotation drives the pins in. When you reverse, they disengage and then re-engage. If you are trying to do this quickly under power it will round off or shear the pins.

Worm gear diffs are TBD's (Torque Biasing Differentials). Unless you have a Wavetrac as they have a clutch in them along with the worm gears. Short wheelbase vehicles are a lot more sensative to front lockers types. I ran a few different types in My old Bronco. Open, good on the street and in...

Keep both your shocks the same. Getting off the shelf shocks in different lengths with the same valving would be problematic. Even if they were listed as the same I doubt that they would be. You also need to leave some travel at full droop as your springs will extend a little further when they...

Run a hose up to a T and run 2.

I would not use a spool gun to weld a drive shaft.
