I'm working on some narrowed wheels for some moab xl tires and lowering the chassis to make the links more parallel(sp) to the ground.

I`d drop the mounting holes for the top links, and maybe straiten up the shocks some. a little to much flex. I need a better side shot to see where your mount ares.

The upper links mount on the chassis about 1/2" below where the shocks mount. I was thinking about moving the lower shock mount to the end of the lower links and moving the upper shock mount out toward the end of the chassis. Hoping to lower the ride height by doing so. Thanks for the input.

Doesn't look to me like too much flex, looks about right how it is. Anyway, you could do with a skid plate for the bottom of your chassis, so that instead of snagging rocks inside the chassis, you just slide over them. I recommend making it out of cutting board material (nylon I think) as it is more "slippery" on the rocks.

Lookin' good there.

i think it looks good. the amount of flex is up to the driver and where you crawl at (i think).
