So I am beginning the outboard shock and spring mount relocation on Monday. I have a couple of questions before I start
1. I have a shock picked out that has 12.880" of travel, 32.290" extended and 19.410 collapsed. Rancho RS999012. Do I build the mounts to the shock or figure out my mounting location and order the shock that fits those measurements? I'm pretty sure I have more than enough room to fit that shock.
2. Outboard process:
Step 1: Get current ride height measurements
Step 2: Cycle suspension up to full bump no bump stops, measure
Step 3: Full droop, measure
Step 4: Mockup new shock location repeat steps 1-3
Step 5: Cut Frame, weld, install.
What did I miss? I have the shock towers and the lower mounts will be here soon. I've got 2 weeks before my next wheeling event and only the evenings to work on it.
