    Humm maybe.

    There are tabs on the lower part of the cage so he just pulls the pins and moves them down to the lower mounts and tightens it up. It takes less then a minute to move it from folded to up and no tools are needed.

    so fucking cooll...when i was in LA at the xgames in summer '06, i saw jesse james' bad ass truck in the lot (an LT blacked out beast) and he had a light rack where it folded down the same...with his deep pockets his maybe hydraulic with a switch...but this is great!

    if i had a desert truck i'd be all over that setup


    maybe we'll have to chat about rear bumper ideas in moab....

    your pockets don't need to be too deep to add Linear Actuators I know when I build my roof rack I might do some for my lights.

    Are there any pros and cons to relocating them like this?

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    Pros
    Allows you to run longer shocks without punching holes in the bed & allows your leaf springs to fully articulate without the shocks limiting the travel, It brings your shock mounts up away from the rocks and other things on the trail.

    Cons
    You don't get 100% shock absorption with yous shocks at an angle.


    I run mine at 20* back and 15* in /\ ang the ride is great and I get lots of droop. I didn't design mine just off the shelf tabs from RuffStuff but I will be making my own before the summer.

    Speaking of a rear shock relocate... 3rd gen 4runners are an AMAZING market for something like that!

    Have you ever tried swapping shocks on a 3rd gen? Its freaking imposibru! Its easily the hardest part of the lift install, IMO. I'd rather manually compress the front coilovers.

    Many of us have made our own shock relocate, but a Professionally fabbed unit would be a hot ticket.



    Here are a few examples! (keep in mind, the stock upper shock mount is a stud type mount. A few of us just have shocks with the Eye type mount up top..)

    Here are the ones Steven and I made.
