|  shock mounting
This is my first post but I have been examining this site for about 3 weeks now and have decided to register and ask a question. Would it be of any advantage to mount the shocks directly to the axial machined alum links? They already have the holes through them, and if a bracket were fabbed they could be bolted to the link arms. I am just looking for some thoughts on the matter.

I am not sure but you probably would want to go to shorter shocks if you did that so your ride height would be the same. remember low is good!

With your shocks being more vertical, its going to make them stiffer. As Robb said, its also going to raise your ride height. I dont see any good reason to do this unless your running your wheelbase over 12.5".

what if the bracket attached made the shock position closer to the axle just higher, you could run a similar length shock with different angle

What exactly are you trying to accomplish by moving the shock? More flex, lower ride height, help with torque twist, etc.....

seems kinda pointless IMO. u would need shorter shocks and the special braket, besides where they are mounted now works great
