Love the look of those TLT shocks turned down... Throw on a coat of white paint and a Rancho sticker and they would look super sweet. Do you have any pics that show better how you replaced the shock cap with a rod end? Or at least a description? |

for the shock cap I just used the rod off the shock shaft. then I just put it on a link in the dremel and sanded it with a tapper, so it would thread into the top of the shock. I ran it through its paces with oil in it and it seems to be holding pressure so I guess we'll see how it holds up. Plus I just did some figuring and I think I got a scale dual rate coil over figured out . I'm gonna go out and try to do one. I'll post a pic this afternoon. |
