I got my springs from ebay a few months back. They're hard to find for Isuzus. I've heard of taking them to a leaf spring shop and altering the arch and stuff the right way. I was at a friend's storage redoing his exhaust (we now have a cheap welder!!), and finally got my rear fenders rolled allll the way out so I can clear the tires. I'm washing this truck and gonna get some legit photos very soon, tired of the cell phone pics. I'll start taking my camera with me.

I did some research on a hardbody forum, and there were shorter shock recommendations for their trucks, and ours are very similar in design. So I picked up some Ford pinto shocks, the only mod necessary is a smaller bolt (7/16") and trimming the tube on the bottom. On the first shock install, I lowered it and the truck did not move whatsoever. Thinking it was the shock, I continued to rig it until it wasn't really functional anymore. In a rush to get to work I picked up a 4x4 Hardbody shock which I know would fit. I still have the same problem! I was rushing because I had work later on. An inspection revealed that when they said to get a 7/16x2.5 bolt, that was too long for my truck and was completely stopping the upper control arm.. . I rode to work one blown shock one good shock, and the difference was night and day. I thought I was doomed to ride like sh*t in my truck, but now it's better. The pinto shock on the opposite side went in nicely. So right now I'm on one hardbody and one Pinto shock in my Isuzu truck
I love my friend's storage unit.
Before cutting up the shock
The.. AFTERSHOCK!!!
I've got an open fall this year, so it's project time! Mods to expect:
Rodeo front end (already have the lights, gonna pick up the rest this week)
Fix my front suspension squeak
Custom installed 6.5 component speakers (my truck didn't come with door speakers...)
Blast pipes!
And after I have a clean truck, the 5.0 swap begins. There's a 302 just staring at me in the garage, along with a full wiring harness. Momma, I wanna go fast!

Parts shopping! Picked up the grille, some whimpy HIDs since I didn't retrofit the housings (just 35w 5Ks), ball joint, and a knock off flowmaster. Ballin' on a budget.Last edited by Isuzupickup; 08-25-2012, 03:50 AM.
