bolt on shock hoops

Post by bad_religion_au »

Has anyone come across a source for bolt on shock hoops, or does anyone have a line on the ford F250 shock towers?

some of this was discussed on Twisty's 40 buildup thread..

http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/viewtopic ... 418#959418

There is a number for a guy in Clontaf that believes he sells them but I haven't had a chance to check this out..

yeah, onto a 40, but really, if it's bolt on, it'll bolt to anything won't it.

i may have found an import place to get me some shock towers, just gotta see if shipping will kill the deal,

13 bucks US for them

i can see if a bulk order will help. that's 13 bucks US each, 26 a pair.

i can see redistributing them could be a pain in the arse tho, so might be easier to just order individually... but i'll wait and see what they quote for shipping

I think twisty mentioned his mrs worked there or something similar and they no longer stock them..

i did a bit of ringing around (including ford spares) and didnt have much luck..

ok. they want 120 US to ship a 13 dollar part. i've asked them how much the price'd go up if i added a few more pairs to the order.

most ford parts joints i've gone too have stared at me blankly. a few wouldn't tell me if they were available until i quoted a VIN number, and a few told me that they couldn't get them

i've rung all the ford wreckers in SE QLD and no luck, they all keep giving me prices on a shorter pin shock mount not the longer eye shock mount, ford parts USA quoted me this:

The part number needed # E5TZ18183A sells for $9.67 each, and the USPS freight will be

-- Global Express Mailâ„¢ (EMS) (Calculate Guaranteed Date) 3 - 5 Days $63.70
Airmail Parcel Post 4 - 10 Days $59.30
Economy (Surface) Parcel Post 4 - 6 Weeks $29.60
