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
