Flex testing with those ORI’s must be a breeze. Looks good - I like the low rider look.

Thats full bump and as soon as l get rears in l wil flex it....lm not sure in the angle of shocks yet

 

[Motorstroker]

Well l had to go back to work today and l had an idea on how to fix shock angle....l will move the lower back onto the trailing arm btacket

 

[Motorstroker]

Well that didnt change much so l think lm goin to run with it....thw ORIs have a working angle of °50 and lm at °67

 

[Motorstroker]

Making progress.. l moved the front lower shock back made abetter angle working on the ass now. I had to build some lower mounts but l thing it will work

 

[Motorstroker]

Its on its own legs l gotta lower the front bottom mounts l need 1.5 in out of them

Nice progress

 

[Motorstroker]

Nice progress

Thanks

 

[NashvilleTJ]

Yup, it’s all about doing things several times to get it right. Frustrating at times, but you forget about it after it’s right. Been there done that.

Nice work. I really like how you did the front lower shock mounts. I‘m going to tuck that one away for future use.

 

[Motorstroker]

Ok this is the hight l want and l stretched her legs a little

The OP hasn't been around in a while, but I'm curious how the ram worked in that position. It seems like it would lose leverage. Has anyone seen this mounting?
