depends, what shock mounts do you have? are they eye-eye shocks? Here is what my front mounts look like:XJkittie said:
then you should be able to mount the resi to the shock body, as they were intended. I did not have that option due to space, or lack there-of.XJkittie said:
, JK, the hose length is 12" from fitting-to-fitting, I had to re-plumb it with a 90* elbow to run the resi there, there was a major issue with the resi hitting the inner fender when mounted to the shock body, you shouldn't have that issue.
Well....I like how they spread the load through such a large area, they are really stout, easy to install, I don't like how low the shock mount is, I don't like the fact that I have had issues fitting shocks with piggyback and remote resi, finally forcing me to hack giant holes(I am sure I could have re-plumbed the piggyback with a remote resi, but the hole method was easier), they are a little pricey, but I don't have a plasma cutter so time is money for me. Overall a good product IMO.fdsa487 said:
With the straight line there was no way to even mount the shock, the hose coupling would interfere with any direction I tried to mount them at the spring retainer one side and the inner fender on the other side, finally went with the 90* elbow after deciding I didn't want the resis in the engine bay, which was another option.fdsa487 said:

my buddy actually re-routed his windsheild washer fluid nozzles so he could spray his resis with fine mist during a race, not sure if it helped, but a neat idear. His resis would be scalding hot after a 50 mile lap through the dez, I actually scalded my arm when I was dumping fuel, these are 3" body 18" travel kings also.fdsa487 said:Good to know. Thanks, man. Im going to be doing the same in the near future after my cage.
Mounting the resi outside is better for keeping the fluid cool, which is the whole point of having one.

just an optical illusion, it is still the same as when it left your house, many moons ago. I still havn't set up the bender, it is asphalt where I want to put it so I have to go to the Carpinteria shop and grab this huge sheet(4'x4') of 1/2" or 5/8"thick(can't remember) Al, the vice and bender will be bolted to that, and then that sheet will be anchored to the asphalt, it gets pretty soft during a hot day so that should be enough surface area to alleviate the bender from toppling. Hey robert, you don't happen to have any small peices of 1.75" ID(2"x.120") tubing do you? I need to sleeve up the A-hoop tie-ins as I had to hack them off to mount the long arms.ROBERTK said:

I'm not worried about it, thought about it, cycled it, thought about it again, cycled it again, no problems as of now, I am not maxing out the spherical joint at full articulation, there is quite a bit of play on the ends. Thanks for the comment anyway.ashmanjeepxj said:
