    @Arcticelf and @snowsk8air2 I will check with them tomorrow and see what they say. But yes a revalve is probably what’s needed.

    Looks sweet
    Do you have a build thread?
    I'm curious what the options are for new rear shock mount. Any threads you would suggest? I've searched but not found a whole lot yet.

    There are a few companies that make shock relocations. BAMF being the most popular. Archive makes one as well. I'm sure theres more but those two are the most popular from what I've seen.

    I've been working on a 100% bolt on solution for that. 12" king or fox shock, you do have to cut off the old shock mounts on the frame and axle to install the new parts. @TwistedTLM4 has my prototype on his truck.

    Looking at the old mount it looks doable.
    A bolt on option would be so less intimidating to the masses.
    Got any pics?
    Proto release date?

    Here's the install.

    I need to update the axle bracket, and get a couple sets welded up, but I should be able to get you one in early to mid October. That will give you some time to find a good deal on a shock set too.

    Why do you have the resi mounted to the spring perch like that? Won’t it hit the frame at bump?

    Do you have to run your wheels outboard to clear it?

    Where does it mount to and when do you think they'd be ready for market? I plan on doing a relocation prolly within the next year and would love to not have to spend money to have someone weld one on

    It's just hanging. Depending on hose length the resi can go on the inside of the hoop or under the bed.

    This fall/winter, I need to build a second round of prototypes and then out them into production. The hoops bolt to the frame, and the shock mount bolts to the axle.

    Those specific ones are extruded Aluminum, so probably not strong enough. But that's a good idea. It would significantly increase 5hr cost of the kit though

    Has anyone running limit straps simply bolt the lower portion to the lower shock bolt vs. welding it to the LCA?
