    I wish I had a plasma or access to one. I used a grinder for the top rivits, couldn't really get the rivits on the bottoms with it.

    They're just a pain.

    And be liberal with the lube/oil for efficiency. I used 2 bits, but only because I crossed up the hole and snapped the first bit after completing nearly both sides. It still was making curly Q's until that point.

    Finally got the last rivit. Both brackets are off. Getting ready to prep the frame.

    Question though... I'm going for the "middle position". Which holes do those refer to? I know I'll have to drill one though.

    Update: starting to get traction on the shock relocation. I will be getting a small batch of kits laser cut shortly. The design is being updated to weld on towers for simplicity and better joint to frame rails. Also strengthening the rear bent rib, trying to make it as strong as possible. This means all shocks used must be remote reservoir.
    Also, the steel used will be stronger 50,000psi HSLA (probably A588/A606 weathering steel) instead of A36 36,000psi. I can probably start selling kits end of May

    Here is a pic from my repeat customer Mikhail from Vladivostock Russia actually.
    His setup is:
    Archive Shackle flip, SUA conversion kit, and shock relocation towers
    Deaver's U539/540 HD SUA packs
    King 2.5" x 14" twin tube bypass, with tubes facing forward.

    Please note the piggy back reservoir is not going to fit with revised design. This means all shocks used must be remote reservoir.
    Triple bypasses will be tight, and have to be configured tubes facing the tire I think, with a 2" wheel spacer, but we will have to see, Adam from NJ will be testing.
    The King 2.5" x 14" twin tube bypass, with tubes facing forward and remote resi, may be able to clear with 1.25" spacer with 4.75 BS wheel (total backspace to tire sidewall of 6")
