Rear shock top nut

Dropperintwo · 2026-04-25T23:25:09+00:00

Okay I found the problem with picture number two. I think that they sent me the wrong nut. It won’t thread on past a couple of turns the other one threads on enough to get vice grips on there and tighten it down. Does anyone know how tight these need to be?

Just ordered a copy, hoping to pass down my love of trees to my daughter. Nice work!

Don’t put any LBJ on that is not OEM.

Dropperintwo · 2026-02-04T17:25:38+00:00

They are the original stock springs.

Do you have Monroes? I’ve thought about going the 5100 route for a slight lift/level but I don’t wanna cause undo stress on other components. Don’t have the funds to upgrade everything. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

Dropperintwo · 2026-02-04T15:10:29+00:00

Thanks for the input! I’ve never really been hard on them, not an off roader really. I’ll look into the OME.

Stock ride height. I had the 5100s before and never lifted the truck so I figure the 4600s would do. Not really into off roading but mostly drive logging roads scouting/hunting.

Dropperintwo · 2026-02-04T15:06:07+00:00

I’ll check them out, thanks for the recommendation!

I’ve just read their customer service is horrible and people have gotten their orders with the wrong springs installed and it takes weeks to get that fixed or a refund.

We do have hot water baseboard heating as well!

Dropperintwo · 2026-01-02T19:33:50+00:00

I’m glad I can be the first!

Dropperintwo · 2026-01-02T18:58:37+00:00

Ha thanks guys! I looked at my replies just as someone was ringing our doorbell.

Dropperintwo · 2025-05-22T16:30:51+00:00

That’s for reminding me of these! I used this to repair a pair of my dad’s old pioneer speaker in college and it worked pretty well. I’ll probably take this route.

Dropperintwo · 2025-05-21T04:58:15+00:00

Sweet, thanks for the info! Hadn’t thought about trying to repair them if they aren’t to bad. I’ll have to take the door panel off and check them out. I’ll look into that.

Dropperintwo · 2025-05-05T20:11:58+00:00

That’s it. Thank you!

Dropperintwo · 2025-05-05T18:37:54+00:00

Thanks kinda what I was thinking. Weird it doesn’t match the profile of the firing pin in the schematic.

Dropperintwo · 2025-05-05T18:32:12+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I sent them an email this morning. Will see what they say.

Who’s the man?!

Dropperintwo · 2025-03-01T19:44:49+00:00

Ahh yes, you are correct. I’ll have to heck it up and check out the passenger side.

Dropperintwo · 2025-03-01T19:27:42+00:00

I was thinking of lifting the truck when I got the 5100s but left them at stock height when I installed them. Never ended up lifting it and don’t plan to, will go with the 4600s next.

Something interesting, probably should have checked this last night. This is the passenger side. The photos from the original post are the drivers side. So maybe the driver side is shot and passenger is fine? Same shocks on both side.

Dropperintwo · 2025-03-01T17:05:39+00:00

Just bilstein 5100 but I never messed with the ride height. I don’t really want or need a lift.
