    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    If i could go and buy some locally tomorrow i would but i cant wait a week for shipping this is getting welded up this weekend ive got to move the truck.

    Yeah i figured all the Spidertrax stuff was blue why not the shocks. I'll be powder coating the links, tie rod & drag link blue as well. And maybe the outer knuckles.

    So I just used an ultra accurate measuring device (my finger). I can't see how the hell you would fit the upper shock bolt in?

    Ahh! I would call it more an "experienced" eye...as in I've made enough mistakes that required re-doing or modifying crap. I'd hate to see you have to rework something like a shock tower, but drilling a hole works!

    Yeah and the angle of the sides it was better to just drill out the holes straight down that way they are on the same plane with the bolts. I did open them up this morning a little more to 1.25" to get a socket in there fucking opened end wrench sucked dick removing that bolt this morning.
