You seen the mod that uses the factory PS reservoir cut in half and a piece of big (4" I think) exhaust tubing welded in to increase capacity? Doesn't get any cheaper than that. Lovin the build so far.

Thanks !!!

Yeah I've seen it! I came across a plastic one double in size. Just trying to keep things looking clean.

I'm building shock towers tonight

My question is. How much up trave compared to down travel is best for best articulation

The shocks I've got my eyes on are 36" extended and 21" collapsed

The one off of a ford f150 5.4 works great

 

[grcthird]

I cycled my suspension and measured and measured and measured, droop to stuff and left an inch or two of shaft showing or in the shock body then built mounts. Pretty sure there is an easier way but thats how I did mine.

 

[hjpcummins]

I wonder if it's worth while to wait till I take it on the trail and do some real measuring?

Small shock hoop location issue.

Got the dash cover cut out

Small safety issue I see with this being open for the I joint to fall apart or somethne hand to fall in.

Ranchos suck compared to bilsteins. Had both on my toy and wouldn't go back to ranchos.
