    meh....maybe its not enough angle to cause an issue. I would bet it wears out fast. (I hope not though, for your sake)

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.

    Yeah me to i angled them at just the angle so that when the suspension articulates it just compresses the shocks with little to no twisting it's 15 degrees off the back of the axle and angled in at 20. Ive cycled it and everything looks pretty good. But with custom work comes issues lets just hope it's right the first time.

    Looks nice Man!

    I used a forklift today to lift up each front wheel (individually) to get full flex on the rear try to get a good rear shock eye to eye measurements for compressed and extended lengths.

    Considering 5125s but have wondered about upgrading to remote reservoir shocks too.

    5150s eh???? Why'd you choose those?

    Yeah they are a bit worse over there. I used to live in k.c. and when I went back last year one of my neighbors houses was halfway meshed into another persons house. I remember when our neighbors trampoline flew into our second story hallway window because of all the wind and shit. Scary stuff.

    The black paint on my grill was chipping, so I took the opportunity to paint it white. I'm really liking it.
