Default Re: Tube shocks on a EFV8

I was kind of curious as to why have both Houdaille shocks and tube shocks? That seems kind of redundant. A good set of well mounted tube shocks shouldn't need much help.

A lot of the old kits for tube shock conversion had frame mounts that bolted on and kept the geometry like it should be.

rotorwrench ……..Now you've got me laughin' my ass off because I didn't even notice the Houdailles still linked-up 'til you mentioned it. Almost speaks volumes about the 'engineering' employed here. DD
