.040 pistons for 350 blown application

found a set of .040 srp dish pistons for about 500 dollars
any other better pistons out there for about the same price
will these pistons hold up to like 16-18 psi of boost from a 6-71

rather not go with diamone or je that would run about 800

I don't know much about Rancho's, but maybe one the other guys here can offer some advice on them. What kind of shock mount do you have? Do you use an external coil spring of some kind? shock mount is the horizontal round hole style. the springs are mounted more or less like a coil over would be on...

Re: 4 link ? car leaning hard to the right please see video

Re: 4 link ? car leaning hard to the right please see video

Do you have adjustable shocks in the back also? No I do not have adjustable shocks in the rear I was thinking of getting either a set of Rancho or Comp engineering (Of course I have not been happy with quality of the comp engineering as of late) It does have adjustments in the 4 link I would have t...

Re: Weight Distributing Hitch question for an open trailer ?

You wrote "You need bars rated for the actual towing weight typically used during each tow, not the trailer GVW. If you use bars too high of # rating, they might be too stiff and not tow well." should I move up to the 800 pounds since I will have the back of the truck weighted down pretty ...
