Front Coli Over Shock Mounts

[rcmbronc]

Anyone have some pics of how they mounted front coil over shocks. I have a pretty good idea how I want to build some hoops but looking to see what others have done. Thanks,

Here is what I have so far.

What is some specifics of your build for you guys that are running or building a coilover system. I'm looking to do one front and rear but trying to get an idea about tire size and shock/spring length. My rig will be street and trail driven and was originally going to do 37x17 tires with a duff or WH suspension system but now I'm thinking I want to try and build a coilover. I want to make sure that my tires don't rub and keep truck height around 5.5" suspension height. Is this doable with a 37" tire or do I need to re think it. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

My truck started with a 4.5" WH lift, 1" body lift and Cage long arms. I was running 36x15 tires no problem with this. I am not changing to 14" from coli overs and will I think be running 35x17 tires. I am going to link the rear also not sure on shock length yet. I want mine lower than it was before with much more travel. With your 5.5" lift 37's will be no problem.

Thanks for the info. Are you wanting it lower because of safety and better street manners?

 

[rcmbronc]

Correct I want it lower to handle better. Mostly speed off road not so much street manners.
