Would anyone like to share their shock relocation pictures?
I have cando control arms and a reverse 4 link bagged over axle and I'm trying to find the best way to do the shocks!

 

on page 18 of my build you can see how I did mine, I dont think it would work with your setup but it might. Id say anyway of doing it that allows for up and down travel and not putting sideways pressure on the shock itself is an ok or correct way. As long as the shock doesnt twist or bind or hinder your air up and down

 

Here's my rear
Used 1''x2'' tube stock

 

And the front
Used the same tube & some flat stock.
I also run CanDo tubular a-arms.

 

try the universal air bags up front, thats what i run and the ride quality is near perfect with out shocks. i kno some are gonna say thats not right but their bags are amazing, a single bellow 2600 bag but the size of a 2500

 

Shocks are incorporated into every car & truck made for a reason!!
Control over rebound & compression is a must !!

 

when i ran firestones and connitechs i had shocks but once i ran the universals it a great ride. and yes i know they were put there for a reason, but different strokes for different folks i guess

 

Yeah a lot of people just build with out the concept of building to handle/perform/ and be safe! ( Not saying that is you)

That is one of the reasons why the hot rod crowd does not accept we Mini Truckers!!

The attitude of building should change, & will over time. In the mean time there are us few in this game that want to build as to the best of our ability, and want too see Mini Trucks in the same field as other hot rods/trucks,etc.!!

I have & will address this any & every time I can!!

 

no i fully agree, and mine is built correctly and has shock mounts, i just prefer the ride i get without on these certain bags. in no way am i calling you wrong either, because your right about the hot rod and classic crowds not agreeing with how mini truckers do stuff. Every one should be trying to build the right way and not just throw it out there

 

what length are your front shocks?

 

not exactly sure havnt had them on in a while

Thanks the way your front is setup is how im going to do mine! I still dont know what imma do for the back... I like how yours is done but i have my bag mount and bridge bar there im thing of going from the center of the bridge bar out

 

Glad to have been some help!
