Inverted shock mounts

Inverted shock mounts

Postby inluxhvn on Fri, 07 Sep 2012 6:06 +0000

Was wondering if anyone has installed them and do they give more flex for a solid Axel

They will allow more flex because you will be able to fit a longer shock underneath. Though you will only get more flex if your leaf allows for it and isnt limiting your flex to start with!
You have a tray though, if your willing cut a slot into your tray, have a custom shock tower made up and have some nice long shocks sticking up through your tray :twisted:

i have been toying with the idea for mine after puting longer springs in rear and not getting the most out of it with limited travel shocks, but having a tub on the back im limited to what i can put under it been thinking of lifting the floor level in my spare tub to get extra clearance to allow a shock tower

Nice 8-)

How do you find the ride having them on that sharp of an angle?
