Do the shocks always move out a little bit like that as you near full bump?
Also - why no driveshaft?
They are actually moving forward not out. Watch the wheels on the jack. The wheelbase is longest at ride height and shortens slightly at bump.
And I haven't ordered it yet. Waiting on one part for the t case. Once that's in,I can measure for the ds.
*I watched it again, it does appear the shocks flare out at the bottom during compression. What we are seeing is one side of a right angle triangle being shortened and increasing the angle of the lower leg. It's also moving forward. Suspension is crazy dynamic
Nice work. Will your tire and fender plans allow you to use all of that uptravel?

Damn you’ve got the cool tools, Mike.
Kinda... Every once in a while I gotta use production tools for government work, lol. That particular machine is a Hurco VMX64. It's huge... And sits a lot because it's so slow on tool changes.
I had to true up my suspension control arm mount on the motorhome.

This is the side that I really needed to true up. It bolts flat to the frame and shims are used to control camber and caster.
Maybe I'll do a walk through of my "professional shop" in the garage and tools forum... You guys might like to see that. I have some really neat machines...
