    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.

    No there not on yet. I'm relocating my shocks to the axle and welding cross-member up top and my welder is not strong enough to do the job. I'm installing them on Mod day 2/28/2011

    It's going to add articulation to the rear suspension. With the shocks mounted like this || your limited to the amount of travel you will have. With the shocks mounted like this /\ your able to bring them in on the axle giving you more travel so my leaf springs will be able to articulate as much as there designed to.

    Oh yeah I got shock mounts from ruff stuff and I'm going to pick up some square tubing to fab up a cross member for the upper shock mounts. I'll be doing it all at the PRS Mod Day #5 so I'll have a bunch of great minds working with me so we can make this rear setup bad ass.

    I will take a bunch of photos and I'll do a writeup when we do it I'm sure there is tons on TTORA but I have yet to see one here on TW

    Well I did a little reading and it might be better for me to mount my shocks perpendicular and not angled. From what I read in the link below you lose effectiveness mounting at an angle. Seeing how most of my driving is on the road I think I'm going to mount them perpendicular. My shocks are 10.5" travel shocks so I still should be able to get full travel of my springs if there mounted n the right place.

    I did some searching on TTORA to see how everyone it doing there rear shocks. The guys that have trail rigs are doing /\ and the guys with DD/off road rigs are going with || the shock absorption is not good on the road at the /\ angle. Seeing how most of my driving is on the street I'm going with || mounted of the back of the axle. Like these pictures But I'm doing the shock mounts different.

    Thanks man I got the LEDs from Vleds and the grill is just a cheap EBay buy. I'm getting a new back bumper soon with 2 10w LEDs for back up lights so it's going to be bright.

    If you have access to a welder it should only cost $150 give or take a few bucks.

    This is what I have so far

    AllPro Ubolt flip kit $71.37
    RuffStuff Specialties upper & lower Shock mounts $25.79
    One can of flat black spray paint & primer $8.00
    One stick of square or round tubing $50.00 tops I still haven't bought it yet so I don't know the cost.

    Yeah I sure will I'll be photographing everything and do a write up. I really thought about the angled shocks and for road driving it would suck.
