hers something thats a good idea for lifts 2" and over...

today started out just relocating my lower arms to make the nth degree stinger work properly. after I adjusted my pinion angle a while back to get rid of a drive line vibration another problem was created.

I got a good start on it late in the day, I'll finish em later and the lower control arms..

heres the unfinished, relocated lower arms, i have a nth degree stinger so I have no upper controll arms or 4 link. moving the arm got rid of rear lift on foward acceleration and squat in reverse.

Once again it looks like ya did a good job now I'm sure you're gonna wheel em to see how long they last.  Maybe you ought to be in the testing and design dept for some suspension company.

Can you explain how you are keeping the bracket from working itself further down towards the ground?  


I break stuff.

he has a bolt in the back of the bracket along with a tight fit to keep it from moving up and down ... and possibly some welds?

yeah, all the aftermarket brackets I've seen are close to 40 bucks and very light gaudge.

my rear bolt is a 1/2" instead of a 3/8" like the kits have that'll fit through the existing hole in the bracket for ease of installation,

mine are kinda like what skyjacker sells only much much beefier.
If I were to buy some I'd opt for the teraflex shock relocators.

I was after some more travel also so I made em a bit to high, they botton out the shock right when it hits the bumpstop. now I've gotta redrill the hole that the factory shock location was in and bend the bracket down a little. or I could get a shock thats 1" shorter since mine are messsed up.
Just a little fine tunning otherwise they serve well..
