i've heard of guys running them around 4 feet long and some even longer, I second running them to either right in front of the trans crossmember or right on with the trans crossmember would be pretty good. be sure to design it so you don't have to tear apart your front suspension so you can take out the trans if you have to work on it for some reason.

yea i believe im gunna take them all the way the the trans crossmember if not an inch or 2 further...but i probably will have to do some work on the suspension to get the trans out because i was thinking about building a big skid plate into my croessmember for the t-case and such

TRUST mewhen i say....its never clean lol, i spent 3 days out there and 2 truckloads of trash haha

i would just go to the tranny x-member, cause that is basically where the front driveshaft is...if ya go back much further you may put in some hinky drive angles....just a thought...

btw, i'm back home...work evening just Mon. and Tues....plan on bein in Owensboro Wed. morning for some last minute X-Mas shopping if ya be home during the day.....let me know...

also noticed in this pic....

that you plan on plating over where the stock shock mount is...or do ya plan on making a shock mount on top of the arm, or relocating it to the front of the beam???

l8r, John

86 slo-vo · 12-20-2009, 06:35 PM

im not sure about wednesday, its a possibility ill be working but i may be able to get off for an hour or 2

and yea i was planning on moving the shock mount on top of the arm so i could get away with shorter shocks...since im gunne be running a pretty decent sized tire with not alot of lift im not going to have much up travel so i didnt think it would hurt me at all

planning on a 35 or 36 inch tire

railman · 12-20-2009, 06:39 PM

well, i am off Wed. thru Sun....so no need to take off, maybe swing by after ya get off work...

let me know...John

86 slo-vo · 12-20-2009, 07:01 PM

yea i get off at 3 or 3:30 monday-friday so let me know, my weeknights are always open
