    Looks good:thumbsup: How much flex/travel did you gain?!

    Does the on road ride change at all from the shocks being mounted that way?!

    Also, I see you welded new ends to your shocks, wouldn't have it been easier to just sell and by eye-eye shocks?! Or use and adapter?!

    around 4" of wheel drop. And more soon to come with the shackle flips. On road ride is the same.....And the rod ends where $10 and help greatly in mis alignment, and add length to the shock. This is just the way i went about the relocate project. Is it the only way,,,surely not,,, But it seems to work fine...

    4" is a good amount! Seems to be a good system.

    Are you still running stock springs?!

    Oh okay, well I'm sure with 10" or so travel shocks and a AP Expo leafs (or similar) you'd have quite a bit of flex coming out of the rear!:cool:

    The shock setup looks good man. Did you use angle for the cross member?

    Do you have a GoPro or video camera you could mount under the truck wile driving I'm curious to see if the shocks cause the angle to flex under compression.

    Spent $50 on material. And while using a tail gate for a work bench, a spray paint can exploded.

    Yeah if you could I'm curious to see if 3/16th angle is ridged enough to not flex when the shock compresses.
