A different approach to rear shock relocation

No, these. Much easier to weld on when you don't have to worry about spacing and alignment

gracias mi amigo. I think this may be the new route I will take...

 

Nope. Need to raise the shock mount higher on the axle to get the correct lengths

 

.

 

True, Depends on what leaves your running. Mine aren't nearly as high as yours

 

I'm running Dakar's with the AAL in. Just trying to get my shocks to not be the limiting factor.

 

Those 12" or 14"?

 

Same set up as me, I put 14" bilsteins

 

that's probably the route I'll go, affordable.

 

This is awesome

 

I'll get you a shot of the lower mounts in a bit. I also have a shackle flip

 

I don't plan on running a shackle flip, currently.

 

Mine equals to 4” basically and axle drops 9 inches

 

Here's my lowers, both sides in front of axle

 

Why both on front

 

I like symmetry, plus I would think it helps slightly with axle wrap, although probably not much. It's possible that it's easier to mount the uppers forwards of the axle due to clearance with the bed but I don't remember

 

Mine are on the front. And @Sub-Zero what’s your up travel

 

Are those witness marks on the shock body from your tire when stuffed?

 

I think about 5", never measured it tho. I'm not running bump stops

 

Yes. Since I’ve done a few I’ve started cutting them in the middle and pushing them back and re bracing the bracket. Stock wheels will eat the shocks using the towers. Plus 63s will go pretty far into negative arch when flexed
