I'm not the best at splainin' things and my typing is even less effective. So while consentatin on the little letters under my smashed digits i get lost, haha. Had a chuckle tho with yer sigh o relief as to my contraption Thanks fer the feedback Jerry, BBB. Have an idea as to finding my shock position. If I jack the axle to the top of its travel and find my 10 degree position then let the axle down and make sure the shock is not past 0. is this a good theary. What I dont want to happen is the shock to bind or "lockout" in a Neg (past perpindicular) position from axle movement, Correct? Or is travel so limited that wont be a problem. I guess what I'm askin is should 10 degeree be measured at the top of it's travel where the shock is at it's most severe angle or measure 10 degree at ride height (laden)?
