flexin it up

[huged29]

Sorry no pics, but I finally got to test out all of my upgrades and I am really happy. Went up a 3 foot high rock forward and backward with open diffs and didn't even lift a tire. The thought I might have to change my shock lenght on all four corners but everything worked perfectly and I still had an inch on the compressed sides. Now I can't wait to hit the trails for the first time in almost 2 years. If you want to see what I am running it is in the bottom of all of my posts.

Do you have a pic of your rear shock mounts? What shocks are you running in the rear?

I am running the cross enterprises rear hoop with some shitty rancho 5000s that have 10" of travel. I thought that they might be too long, but after flexing it out I still had about an inch left and the springs were starting to go inverted.

Thanks, Guess I'll get the 10" shocks too...;D

You might want to go a little shorter if you don't have a body lift. When I mounted my inboard hoop I welded it higher on the frame because I had extra space from my 2" body lift. If you have to mount it lower on the frame you might want to use an 8" or 9" travel shock.

I have a body lift, but didn't take it all the way up. I wanted to keep the mounting plates on the frame. My kit came with 12" shocks shown here.

I think 10s will work good with your setup. I was not even close to extending my 10s out all the way. Just make sure to measure your bump stops carefully or you could take out a shock or the whole hoop if you hit it hard enough.
