Hey Squatch... I called them and they will send the packs. cost about $80 for shipping. I will have to see if my local guy I trust can do the job. They said they'd send instructions too. . ...so if I can get the 12 way adjustable shocks from Australia (Boss thru Canada) I will send for the pack from Boise and have it done all at once. I know this truck can move the weight fast and the mileage is wonderful. Can't wait to get it to be the truck it is meant to be..... keep up on the moon truck... I follow that project too.... wish I had your expertise ... I am a wood man ... that is my comfort place. I do have a couple motorcycles...a 1956 R 50 BMW and a 1991 R100. I dismantled the R50 engine (I've had it 40 years)... for a complete rebuild... got it all apart and all the parts perfect...then the knees started to shake. The rebuild is considerably more demanding then the dismantling....The crankshaft main bearings and slingers I have sought help on... once that is done I can handle the heads etc. Good to keep figuring things out. Just got to exercise more!

I hope it works out for you.

 

I think the Moon Truck may be debuilt some and sold at this point. I just bought a 1st gen Tundra for the camper.

What price did Boise Spring give you?  I called today and spoke with them for about 1/2hr.  Very helpful.  I have a 2001 Dakota and could use their "upgrade".  They quoted $400 I think (+/- $50).  4 hrs to install.  I live in Boise btw.

Lucky dawg you... wish I was closer! They also told me $400 (but that was just for the spring pack...install extra.)

BTW, how's the Colorado diesel with the Eagle on it?  How's the mpg?

best mileage in the last 50 miles was 34 mpg.... average was 29 mpg.... hard to complain. I hope the camper on I get 24-25 highway with cruise control.  I only had the camper on for a week.. the roads were bad and we were doing mostly country roads and through towns... I was getting 22 mpg...we were loaded too.
