    That's a large lever arm you got there, any plans to reinforce them?

    Looks good though :thumbsup:

    Looks good. was thinking of these the other day. I'm using them on a totally different project and they are awesome.

    I agree with you on not needing to reinforce them much more. they are nice and beefy and rear shocks do t have to take huge forces.

    On my use I did "straighten" them. might give a bit more room from the tire doing that but not sure how close to the bed the mount is already

    From what I've found online....the 14" 5125's are 46mm ID ~ 1.8". You think this relocation can clear 2.0" or even 2.5" shocks?

    Holy shit @Rattletrap66!! Great work bud! :thumbsup: where did you get your Chevy 63's from? Looks like I just found my new economy project for doing the rear end. These would work great with some 2.0 Fox Resi full eyelet shocks in the rear, not to mention be a hell of a lot stronger than stock.

    How long did it take you start to finish to git 'er done? All the work plus the removal of those BS 2 inch thick stock rivets on the shackles is what intimidates me to do that work. It took me forever to get out the rivets on the bump stop striker pads.
