    This is on the front of a "T", I don't have a lot of room for a top shock mount,(I already have a small bumb in the fenders for it) and the lower mount I can move to where I want it, but it will be welded in place once. I don't have bump stops in the front yet.

    The front shocks sit at 27 degrees at ride height & 10.5 between shock mount, it can be made longer, but the shock will lay down more, which decrease the shock movement, which then I have to increase shock spring weight also.

    Should I have some camber angle change when the wheels are raised (as hitting a bump in the road) mine now are set for .035 change (tire lean) in a 4" stroke. If I raise the lower "A" frame inner mount up 1.875, I get 1" lean on the tire, in a 4" stroke. The more I can raise it the better.
