Ecellent.. I love seeing what eveyone comes up with. I like the electronics tray. And a very interesting use/mounting of the sedan shocks.

Haha!
It took a lot of trial and error!
They are laid down more than I'd like them to be. I had to limit travel with spacers on the shock shaft.

There is a perfect sweet spot where you can mount them, that will not make the rig too tall, etc. You might have to take some of the "bend" out of your high clearance links.

with those short shocks, no springs and mounting placement on the links is going to make your rig really floppy and unstable. Using front Stampede shock is a good option as well.

I think that if you are going for droop, you have to lay your shocks almost straight up and down.....and much closer to the axle(bottom mounts)
