mounting the gas shocks is just a bolt on application. just take the old shock out and put the gas shocks in. if your thinking coilovers then you will need to modify your shock hoop and brace it. then make a mounting place on the lca. i had big plans for this truck i just dont have the money to fab all this stuff up.
and the skid plate is deff homemade haha. its a big Railroad crossing sign i "found" somewhere and cut it down and bent it. i have a huge 4x4 sheet of 1/8" aluminum waiting for a better one to be made but i sold her instead.
