Im no champ either. :awesomework:
The rear shocks will be mounted but I dont think I will get very far on the front. Snowmobiling at the ski area in fresh pow sounds better than sitting in my shop all wekend...again.
I spent a good part of the day making the rear shock mounts on the axle and flexing the axle and measuring it with both my mockup shocks and the real ones and after a whole lot of trials and a modification to the rear of the frame I've decided that they just flat out are not going to work. 
Oh well, that's why everything was just tacked.
Oh well, that's why everything was just tacked.Here is how I had the shock mounts, as part of the gusset plates for the towers the upper links atatch to, a clean way of mounting them I thought.
The actual shock from the back
And my "mockup" shock from the front
Here's the major problem, when the axle articulates the shocks are so close and so low on the towers that we have a major interfernce problem. Ouch, shock to bolt action.
And here's my frame modification. The shocks would come dangerousley close to the tube before my clearnce notch, I'l cap the tubes where they were cut.
I am still going to try and mount the shocks the same way, but I'm going to make new plates the put the shocks a few inches higher and about a inch farther inboard, I dont want them to even come close to hiting anything, it would realy suck to break a racerunner in half due to piss poor engineering.

That would not be good engineering. But looks like you got it handled!
