Gang,

I know I've touched on this in the past and there are differences of opinion, but I am at a point where this old coach needs a total suspension rebuild as all the rubber is all original(1977).

I have 2 spare knuckles with grease fittings. I just don't know how old they are. It appears that the 1 ton would be cost effective. Many seem happy with their 1 ton conversions. It would speed up my rebuild, plus and minus some of the positives and negatives. Many say if they were at the point at which I am, they would do the one ton conversion. How happy are those with the one ton? Would you do it again? Would you do it if you are in my stage of reconstruction? What are the differences in Manny's kit and Applied's kit? Can you get the kit in Polyurethane Bushings?

As always thank you for sharing your thoughts and opinions. Also thanks for respecting those who have differences of opinion.

Take care,
Tom
