oh my god..and to think...the back of that jeep was clean not too long ago

[Trailer Ray]

looks sweet. Have you been able to put it to the test yet?/ did you notice any improvement?

[HeavyMetal]

what you see is where it sits, haha

the other hoop isnt welded in or anything yet..so that will have to wait

[Trailer Ray]

Ohhhh. So much fucking ninja-ness all up in heavymetal... I'm jealous

[CumminsJeep]

so sique.

[Kyle]

So correct me if i am wrong or it does not matter but should the axle end of the shock be mounted with the bolt front to back not left to right so when the axle articulated in an arch the shock bushing wont bind?

[HeavyMetal]

the bushing eyes on both shock ends are mounted opposite of each other to decrease bind throughout motion

[Kyle]

Ok, i can see that but i can still see the eyes at the axle end binding.

[HeavyMetal]

why would that bind if the upper eye rotated the shock outwards freely on the bolt?

if both bushings are in-line with one another, youre going to trash bushings left and right, and if i reversed the way i mounted it, the way you see it binding would just be transferred to the upper mount.

Ok that makes sense.
