Shock angles

[Technician]

How much inboard and tilt back should I use on the front of a rock bouncer?

Nothing?

Answering why the sky is blue might be an easier task. There is no answer with the lack of info you have provided.

Re: Re: Shock angles

You can mount the shocks however you want, all the angle of the shocks is going to affect is the spring and damping rates.

^ What he said, but I try to use 10 degrees toward the center of the vehicle as a general rule of thumb

Thanks for the info. I didn't think about the shock angle being proportional to the spring rate.

With 4 link when your axle flexs out the front wheel will move back and in towards the center of truck. the back wheel will move to tje front because as links drop out they get shorter. My shocks are layd back about 10 degrees. and in about 5 when all the way flexed out they are straight up and down but just guessed and made sure shock would not hit frame. so maybe to answer your question. if you. what too you could flex it out and mount them. but i just depends ont how long your links. are

I shoot for a max of 10-15.
