Hi Listers,

A number of years ago I purchased a set of rebuilt Armstrong front shocks 
for my BJ8. After running them in the normal fashion for a few years I 
installed Putzkes Bilstein conversion kit. To use the conversion kit you run 
the Armstrong shocks with the valving removed. That basically converts the 
shock to just an upper "A" arm assembly with no damping. I have been running 
with that system for years now.

My Armstrong shocks bushings are worn and there is now some play. So I need 
to buy some new front shocks. Obviously I am interested in finding shocks 
that are in excellent working condition. I will the remove the valve and use 
them as before.

Does anyone have a set that they are willing to part with? I am interested 
in the versions that will fit under the wheel well tub without modification. 
Also the 4 mounting points need to be in good condition. If anyone is 
interested in selling me these parts, please contact me off-list.

Thanks,
Dave
