Yes ,the genny is mine and for the record it is a generation 1 truck,only recently convert to a 6spider gear set-up with Cen's help by sending me the new diff parts,did not had problems with the old one's so i keep them as spares! The springs are blue firm buggy springs from a Rexx x(Xterminator in U.S)I use a Hpi ribbed tuned pipe(for.25)but it works great as u can hear it shift in to 3rd.

Hi choppermikez,i have consenplated the LST shocks an option but at the end of the day i thought i would like to keep the Genesis standard as possible without outside competition so that it can still retain it's own character.I have a friend with a LST so i will give you more advise as soon as i have checked what will be needing if you still want to do the conversion,so bear with me and i will get back to you!

Hi choppermikez,i had a look at shocks and you will need some work on this.The rear of truck will give you probs because of the fuel tank and exhaust manifold and the back of the shock towers your tierods or toe in-toe out adjusters will be in the way.IN short you need to rebuilt your own set-up for the back,suspension arms,etc.The front section you will need curved top and bottom suspension arms as these are bigbore shockers.All the best and let us know if you have managed it!!
