by mounting your shocks like that I'm betting they don't actually do any dampning (they just pivot), so i'd suggest either mounting the shocks to a rigid mount (so they work like shocks) or just connect something solid where your shocks are now, but make them shorter so it lowers the rear down some.

They do compress fully... given more stress thats why i have shocks on there instead of some small pipeing or somthing...i may cut a few coils to make them softer anyways... and i will be doing the same to the front end to jack it up a little. i want to also narrow my tires and stretch my wheelbase a little.. does anyone know how to widen the axels?

if they compress great, but as posted in the pics right above this, they aren't compressing, which is what mine did, yeah the flex was great, but it wasn't practical with the set up I had, so if it works for you, awesome.

red90xj I do not have to test this principle.
I have just discovered it.
I like the conventional one but the new ideas are always interesting.
