my inspiration came from this thread..http://www.clubgp.com/cgi-asp/mods.asp?modid=4

I had a set of KYB AGX's that were blown already so i figured **** it. and hacked them open.

Of course strut mounts need to be modified accordingly see this thread

As for the build there were a couple of hickups but nothing major.



Modified strut mount





Strut housings cut open with compression/alignment ring shown




VERY IMPORTANT **when you first cut the strut make sure you cut it to where you can achieve this I.D 48MM you insert the ring and press shock all the way through



Drilled hole in the bottom for nipple** you dont have to have this welded back if you want you could use the supplied screw that will secure it to the body however i wanted the extra suspension travel and chose to have it welded on the bottom.





Use your 14mm washers like so and stack your sway bar poly bushings like so. -you will have to ream out the poly bushings to fit over the strut shaft




Total weight 18lbs





Finished!!

HAHA, had to make sure you got the ACUs and pistol in there huh? What is that pistol? Almost looks like a 1911 with the beavertail, but the front of the frame looks a little off.

nah not really but yea im active duty so i didnt think anything of it when i snapped the picture. i had just got done installing a new trigger spring on the taurus so thats why it was laying there its definatley not a 1911 it a taurus PT945 .45 with ported barrel. BY far my fav gun.

I was just messing with you anyways. Where are you stationed? I was active duty for 3 years. Been out for about 5 years now due to a medical discharge. I injured my back during some live convoy fire exercises while I was in South Korea for 2 years. I miss those days so much now. Nothing has ever given me more of a sense of fulfillment. My favorite pistol I have is my sub-compact Springfield XD .40S&W. The ergonomics of the grip is phenomenal and it works great as a concealed carry with my in the pants galco holster. I also have a S&W M&P .45 full size. I just wish I could combine the ergonomics and the polymer finish of the XD with the smooth action of the M&P. Would be the perfect pistol IMO. My fav gun that I have though is my Bushmaster AR variant. Love that rifle. Thanks for your service!
