[QUOTE="crash2, post: 1285145, member: 15940"] So one thing I wanted to do was inboard the top of the shocks to help aid in sidehill (makes shock more effective) and also have the shock follow the motion of the suspenion and also help in turning (tires nailing shocks). But one thing that was in my way was the cover on the gear case. I had read some different methods of replacing the cover--well I just had to do it my own way,lol. I went and got some very thing alum. and cut my own. [IMG]http://nw-wheelers.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/moa106.jpg[/IMG] And definatly alot thinner and lighter than the clear cover. [IMG]http://nw-wheelers.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/moa107.jpg[/IMG] As you can see I opted to only use 2 mouting screws. The third one has to be right on the money and same depth as the metal case or it will rub against the gear that runs against the pinion. Plus I don't think the cover will get hit really due to how thin it is and away from the edge of the case where you get rock rash. [IMG]http://nw-wheelers.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/moa108.jpg[/IMG] SO I was able to inboard the shocks a total of an inch between the 2 and still had room to spare from the shock body even getting close to making contact with the new cover. [IMG]http://nw-wheelers.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/moa109.jpg[/IMG] And here they now sit--I am much happier with this setup and will have a chance to try it out tommorow at another GTG..
