Rear Shock Mounts - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

I have a 12bolt rear-end in my s10 and I was wondering what would be the best setup for shocks? I have Rancho 9000 with 10.5" of travel. Some pics would really help me out.
Thanks

What springs are you running? I built a crossmember above the axle for the top mount and built some lower mounts for the axle. The shocks (Rancho 9012's) angle up from the outside of the axle to the middle of the rig. Same setup that a lot of the Toy guys are running with their 9012's. Should be able to see some pics there.

If I feel motivated I might even post some.

I am running the stock springs with an extra leaf. They seem to flex well. I want to use these shocks because they are new and the price was right. Thanks, I will take a look at some Toys
