    I recently purchased some 2.5x12" King smoothies from a guy, that also came with a BAMF shock tower. I'm well aware that the BAMF kit doesn't utilize as much travel as the Archive kit does and it doesn't fit a 2.5 shock. I'm looking to build some shock hoops for the rear but in need of some measurements. Mainly with the ideal height to put the top mounting bolt at, how to figure out the best angle for the bottom mounts, the best spot to mount the shock on the axle, and how far to bring the shock out at the top from side-to-side. I'll be running Deaver U402 Stage 1s, with the Archive Garage U-bolt flip kit.

    Thanks

    Sounds like it would save you a lot of time and trouble if you just bought the Archive Kit. All the work has been figured out already, just need to weld her in.
