Max Erica 97 D1 2" lift   Andy Thoma (Andythoma) Member Username: Andythoma Post Number: 225 Registered: 01-2003 Posted on Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 01:40 pm:    Max- I'd recogmend talking to Marc Oliveries at Redrockrovers. I am using his set up and it works great. His email is; olivares@xmission.com . Nice guy and good stuff. It's a relocated damper like what's on a defender stock. It uses a new d2 type of damper that attaches to a heavy duty drag link and replaces the tie rod with a heavy duty unit. They are basically the strength of what you'd see on a rock crawler. I also put on new tie rod ends, ome damper, and a front pinion guard for like $250 in all. Send him a email and he can send you some pics.   Andy Thoma (Andythoma) Member Username: Andythoma Post Number: 226 Registered: 01-2003 Posted on Wednesday, May 14, 2003 - 01:43 pm:    Sorry just noticed you are Erica, not Max. Also I have a 95 d1, but everything would be the same.   Paul T.

I believe there may be a write-up of one in the tech section. I've made a number of prototypes and the first production model will be installed on my truck as soon as my new damper is received, it was shipped Monday-WooHoo!

You know how that goes, she won't start up for me tonight when I need it and then leave me sleeping on the couch frustrated that I couldn't get her going because I was looking at other girls...   max garcia (Max_n_erica) New Member Username: Max_n_erica Post Number: 8 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Thursday, May 15, 2003 - 12:35 am:    Andy you can look, just don't stray.
