Need lower shock mount ideas.

[TYZWK]

I installed the team strc crawler kit, and now I need some kind of new lower shock mounts because they are kinda wedged now with the new angle of them.. Any ideas?

I run Kreepy Krawler's Lock Jaw mounts. The Crawler Store also make a mount.

Do you by any chance have a part number or a link for any of those? I couldn't pull them up.

You have a PM waiting...

This how I set mine up. I just reused the stockers. Its plenty strong. The pics are kind of scrambled date wise.

with old nasty lockouts:

more or less finished:

before sleeving links and trimming, just to show how it was mounted:

This is how I did mine. I just rotated the stock parts 90 degrees. I used a little longer screw on the top with a small spacer to push the lower shock mount back 1/4 inch

I was just going to post that same idea. I figured that out last night.

[akramer007]

i kinda did the same as kvillekrawler rotated 90 put the link in the bottom hole and used a longer bolt and put the shock to the outside of the upper hole.

Never did like the 'clamp' idea so I went a different route and made my own truss.

were can i get them little silver brackets that the shocks an links bolt too?

cheers

[parker88]

im pretty sure the shock and link mounts used are from a tlt kit if im not mistaken...i think tower has them"thumbsup"

[Mriswith]

The technical name is 'Suspension Stays' and yes, they are from the TLT-1 kits

[missions1]

cool thanks for that is it possible to bolt these straight in to the axle some how by drilling holes or do ya have to make bracket to bolt them too

cheers paul

[Mriswith]

The suspension stays are too tall to bolt directly to the axle case. You'll need some type of bracket.

[HndsWthtShdws]

Or you could drill a hole in the stays and mount them directly to the axle.

This is how I did mine I was going for the minimalist look. Sorry about the crappy pics but it is just like Mriswith but with out the truss and so far it has been bulletproof

When you do this, do you run a bolt all the way through the housing or just the one half? Thanks, Chris

[maui454]

just one half I just pre drilled some holes and threaded some screws in and it hold really tight. What do you think it looks clean huh?

[shierkahn]

I thought about doing it before but, was gonna drill all the way through. Then I got concerned about it weakening the housing to much so, I didn't do it. Well now I broke a mount and think I'm gonna go through with it. Thanks for the input and setting my mind at ease. Chris"thumbsup"

[maui454]

Yeah like I said I have ran it pretty hard since I have done it but it is only 2 1/8" holes. Oh if you use the Tamiya link mounts you have to drill a new hole but it is super easy.
