Welding in Shock Brackets

Edited: 8/13/2006 11:46:56 AM by 88low

Whats the correct way to mount shcok brackets? I really don't have an idea unless Im not seeing it. My buddies Yota needs shocks already

Mount them close to the outside of the axle. And as close to straight up and down as possible, but probably tilt them back enough to get the righ amount of travel.

ummmm. well it depens on the crush and expansion length when it comes to air i always make it full compress when teh bag is fully compressed just so it will have the full expansion possible. there is no true way that I know of to set them. Just get creative.

Cool hell yeah thanks

put em in so it will lay out and get max lift

Dont' forget yer panhard bar on that truck also. Or a watts link...

I kept the same angle as stock, the lower bracket we made welds over the back of the lower link tabs to keep it in tight!

Here's a photo of the lower bracket.

Man Gary your trucks lookin sweet there. Oh yeah the truck does have a panhard, its just in that pic its not one yet, but its there. I drove it the other day and it ran sturdy. I mean yeah It was bouncy but thats olnly due to lack of shocks. The truck just needs fine tunning (adjusting panhard and double checking everything out) to get it right.
