    I want to put my rear shocks with the remote reservoirs in the front. Im thinking we can weld some coild seats to the body of the shock and lay the coils on there...What do yall think about the top? Maybe I can weld another coil seat on the top?

    Why not buy front shocks with reservoirs? Something already designed and manufactured to work for the front. It would make more sense then hand rigging something that may not even work right.

    Looks like we have our weekly Friday thread!

    Edit; Also pretty sure it’s a troll thread lol :rofl:

    Why not just remove the shocks to save weight and weld the bitch together....since we are welding and all.
    :notsure:

    Maybe I can weld some steel beams and get the 8" lift I always wanted. How smooth do you think it would ride?

    Increased torque, correcting taco lean.

    Well I can adjust the height however I want depending on how high or low I weld the coils on there. Heck, I could correct the taco lean!

    You could also weld a solid steel tube to the shock. Someone did it already and it was amazballs!
