Custom Works.
If you just want to slam your truck on the ground for some street running, you can just use some fuel tubing as limiters in the shocks.

That's right, factory works. Too many names to remember.
Did you ever find those GT parts?

Sorry man, I meant to direct that at Charlie don't surf, but glad to hear you found them.
I always liked the Fiero GT's. I'm glad to hear yours is still running good too.

Hey 87fieroGT, where are there offroad tracks near you? I float between trenton, NJ, and willow grove, pa, and my sister lives in levitown, but I don't know of any tracks.....of course, it's been ages since I've actually gotten the gear down and running enough to be competitive........

cool that is good to know. I'll have to check it out.....I guess you are talking about action hobbies up there? I stopped in when they were closing the doors, but I still wasn't sure if there was anything there I could use at the time, to help fix up my vintage stuff. thanks for the link, btw.
