shocks on bagged truck

Yeah, tell it to the lil blue yoter that sleeps outside... I seen garage pics before lol

Yeah it doesn't get to go in the garage. My other cab for it and my 30 Chevy are in there though...

Okay heres the formula. An example will be in code.

Shock Travel/Suspension Travel (Suspension Travel is your Denominator)
[code]4.5/10 = 0.45[/code]

Answer X Bar Length
[code]0.45 X 14 = 6.3[/code]

Now you mount your shock 6.3" away from the frame pivot, and it will travel the same amount as the suspension (10") if the shock is vertical. If its at an angle you wont be using all of the shock, and it won't be as efficient. Those numbers above are based on Toyota suspension, and the Bilstein shock that I use. Here is an example for a rear suspension. I use a larger shock out back most of the time.

Shock Travel/Suspension Travel (Suspension Travel is your Denominator)
[code]6.5/10 = 0.65[/code]

Answer X Bar Length
[code]0.65 X 25 = 16.25[/code]

So you would mount your shock 16 1/4" away from your frame pivot, vertically for the best effect.

damn, cool... bar length in the front would be lower control arm length???

Yes. And to figure it out you measure from the pivot bolt to the center of the balljoint (where it pivots).

coolness!

Thanks seth! you're one smart dude. i wish you luck and success in the business world.
