Can anyone provide help on how to fabricate brackets (ie. dimensions, placement of brackets, materials, etc.) for a tube shock conversion to an "A" frame? I have seen some installations with a stud welded to the underside of the axle outboard of the wishbone attachment point, and a simple bracket welded to the frame. In this set up the shocks are at about 45 degrees, rather than almost vertical. Any thoughts on this arrangement? I run a dropped I beam axle with lever shocks now. The lever shocks are in good shape. Am I likely to see a worthwhile improvement in ride by converting to tube shocks?
Thanks
