well im gonna guess he is talking about the running lights, which are tiny. with fiber optic cable he could theoreticly have all the running lights running from one single led. i don't know where to get it but ive seen a lot of stupid junk that uses fiber optic wires, like those little key chain wands in gas stations or similar. you might could use something like that

I saw someone use fiber optic (I think a very scale hummer) he said he got it at the LHS in the train section.

you can you a spring mount and turn it, mount it inboard of the frame and extend the lower axle bolts and mount the shock that way, or make a cross member and mount top of shocks to cross member, whould help with strength and alooks, just a idea to throw out there, by the way, your rig looks great, keep it up

yeah the shocks are too long and hit the underside of the bed to do that and they also interfere with the springs when "outboarded" and limit flex bigtime because of the minimal lift. so angled rearward they alleviate all of those problems except looks. i would rather have them staggered like my full size rig. but w/e thanks for the compliments

well i was wondering if the top of the shock could cut off a little shorter and then retapped to accept the shock cap. i just cant find the correct tap to rethread the shock body.
