I have always found a good looking woman detracts from the attention to flaws in craftsmanship. :roll:

So dose anyone have any recommendations on how to mount the upper part of the shock. I have about 7 feet of 1 1/2 dom to work with and a few 3 inch shock bungs.

Mine is a small piece of 1/2" plate welded in the corner of two tubes. Then it has about a 1 inch piece of 1-1/2" od tube with bolt size ID. Probibly 2lbs per side, a bit heavy, but there is no way it is going to be my weak link.

Mine is bolted through the plate, other then that very similar. Looks good and strong.

Sux i didn't do all this fab work before i painted it lol. This is my way of making the gas tank fit lol. It would not fit because the old shock mounts where in the way, so that is how i got rid of the tube that was in the way lol. I have bin wanting to do this for a while and that just gave me a reason.

I do have some questions thought. do i really need to use the limit straps it still has the stock stops, and what should i do about the bump stops not really sure where to put them.

I would cut the stock stops off and use the strap! thats what I did on my wifes buggy. You'll get alot more travel. and if you still have torsion bars in the back, It will be much easier to put back together :mrgreen:

The top shock mounts appear to be sticking out far enough to need a brace from them down to the plate you added.
