Thanks alot. Nice work. !!!!

question for ya, are you worried about the shock being mounted to the shackle? 1, will it work right? meaning it will dampen the spring but not the axle as the other end of the shackle is free to move up and down independent of the end with the shock? and 2, won't it cause a very heavy twisting load on the shackle itself? Just my curiousity kicking in. Your ride looks cool but then I have always loved modifieds with wide 5 hubs![P

WEll it s funny you ask when we mounted the shocks we did the bounce test seemed fine to us we did the test with and with out shocks and different mounting angles did'nt seem to matter much so that how we did it we'll see how it works on the street
