Quick question regarding out boarding the rear shocks. I noted the midarm because the lack of a track bar.
I’m in the process of the rear shock outboard. I’ve have the upper poly towers set to the very back inside of frame. So the upper mounts are where they are gonna be.
Im set up with 12” foxes dialed in for 6” of up and 6” of down travel.
Im slightly rubbing the tire against the shock body at full articulation. I can still spin the tire by hand and I’ve read a little contact is okay.
But trying to get this dialed in perfectly, I’ve been moving the lower shock mount inboard more, but the more I look at it, I’m wondering if it would help if I move it more outboard.
There might be some geometry I’m not fully understanding here.
So my question is which direction should I be moving the lower mount to gain more clearance between tire and shock body.
I’m just looking to speed this up a bit, I’ve cycled the suspension so many times, tacked welded and cut tacks, rinse and repeat. You know the drill.
Thanks
