BAMF shock relocation w/ 2.5 kings perfection

I know there have been some people asking and wondering if this kit works with 2.5 inch shocks. The answer is yes, but VERY tight, you need to be very meticulous when you mock everything up and cycle the suspension a few times. I have about 1/4" between shock body and back of tower at ride height and 1/8" between shock body and front of tower at full droop.

 

Don't know why it took me so long to find this but I've been contemplating on whether to get a set of custom Fox 2.0 12" travel with DSC reservoirs added on or try to squeeze the full 2.5s.

 

We may be able to help, shoot us a message with what your trying to do

 

Already placed my order with you guys! Thanks for the help.

 

I’m so glad I finally found this post! I want 2.5s but also want 12”! Hahah. Accutune, PM coming your way!

 

may i ask what angle/measurements you are using for the lower shock mounts? i installed mine to find out i am lacking a lot of uptravel. i only have about 2 1/2 inches of shaft showing at ride height.

 

You should be removing all but one leaf to allow suspension to be at full bump when tacking on the shock mount. Shock positioning will be dictated by how much up travel your bump stops etc will allow. Feel free to send us some pics to check out

Got a pic of your lower shock mount?

 

here are some pics. the label on the box when i bought them used linked back to a 12 inch 2.5 shock. i measured the actual body of the shock and it is 17 inches. uh oh..

 

Those don't look like bamf lower shock mounts and they look too high.
Make sure the distance between your bump stop and frame is larger than the amount of shaft showing.
Got a pic of the upper mount?

 

yeah those are the archive garage lowers. they were a little thicker than the bamf ones and should have been mounted a little lower

 

So you put 2.5x10" shocks on it then? Inferring from your 17" body measurement, and a 2.5x10 is ~18.5" including lower rod end fully collapsed.

Archive already did the math for owners who want 2.5x12" with proper shocks clearance and axle tab ground clearance:

Shock travel is going to be different that the shock body length. Looks like you are using a 2.5" body shock, and I believe the BAMF kit is for 2.0" shocks

 

the guy i bought it from gave the following part number when he listed it(KRS-PR2512-SS-A). so im assuming its a 12" 2.5 shock. i measured the actual shock body NOT eyelid to eyelid btw. and by looking at the link you sent, the lower tab needs to be MUCH lower than where it was mounted. but I did not see the part where it discloses information about ground clearance?

 

correct, it was designed for a 2.0 however squeezing a 2.5 has been done before. with a lot of measurements that needed to be done a lot more carefully than mine

 

That diagram is for the Archive 2.5" shock tower, which puts the top shock eye about 3.75" higher than that other tower.

I recommend people who consider trying stuff like this give us a call first, and we'll explain why this doesn't work

 

ahh i see it now. looks like i might just chop the lowers off and weld them on lower. would love to have a local fab shop install some type of lower shock guard

 

Can you show us a pic of how much shock shaft is showing currently?

 

only about 2 1/2 inches

 

by chance are there any current discount codes? im about to order new lower tabs again so I can fix my mistake
