zagscrawler Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 It looks like i have to move the shock mounts on my new 8.25 diff as well as perches and figured i could mount them where ever i wanted now. I'm wondering if there are ideal places to mount the shocks on the diff for maximum flex with still keeping it stable. I have brand new shocks still in the boxes and was told if i want to trade them in for different length ones i can as long as i don't mount these ones yet. I would figure the closer i get to the pumpkin the less the shock would move during flex and allow for more flex, I'm sure it will have some reverse affects as well but would like to know ahead of time. So basically if anyone has some figures (like shock length, seperation on diff and even on chassis) that would be great. I'm going to be lifted around 6.5-7" and running 35's x 11.5-12.5" wide with around 5.5 offset on wheels i think. The front will be custom long arm 4-link all hyme jointed.

mnkyboy Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Mine are currently in the stock location and I get lots of flex. I would keep them around the same location as stock and worry more about getting the correct shock length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
