: put some F-250 shock mounts on my YJ (pics) 3/4tonYJ 03-22-2002, 04:38 PM thanks to this board again, had an idea, asked the question and got great answers. thanks to everyone :smokin: these shocks are BDS (cheapies) they have about 13" of travel... 3/4tonYJ 03-22-2002, 04:39 PM it's fully extended in this picture 33", think i'm going to move the lower mount up about 2" thinking about limiting straps, (but what the hell, the shocks have a lifetime warrentee) 3/4tonYJ 03-22-2002, 04:41 PM forgot the picture :smokin: Weezer 03-22-2002, 04:43 PM how are you going to get any flex when the shock is maxed sitting on pacement 3/4tonYJ 03-22-2002, 04:52 PM the first picture my jeeps on a lift, and the 2nd picture it on this paved hillside that is almost like a ramp......it's flexed pretty well, you just can't see.... when sitting on the level ground theres about 7" of the strut showing, (to me that means i got about 6"of droop) if i move the lower mount up about 1 inch i should have about 6" of compression and 7" of droop, how does that sound"? this picture is from a different angle Weezer 03-22-2002, 04:55 PM much clearer now, looks good:D RHINO 03-22-2002, 07:22 PM it looks good, i wish you had a pick of the stuffed side, looks like your spring is prety flat, so, just make sure the shock up-travel is used as much as possible, so your not wasting travel. scouter77 03-22-2002, 09:01 PM BTDT its nice how easy they fit and all :D ;) Blue-Beard 03-23-2002, 02:25 AM Looks good but you should put some gussets on there. I have heard stories of those towers bending when not gusseted. scouter77 03-23-2002, 08:22 AM These look like hummer wheels :D If they are, are you using wheel spacers and how much of a spacer are you using? Please tell me more.
