How does this work when the shaft is in the "up" position. Does it go through the bed of the truck? It looks like it just barely clears the bottom of the bed.

Are you still 4-linked in this picture? I can't see the upper link mounts in your photo set. Very cool and this looks worlds easier than fixing my current PITA shock throw extensions and funny angles.

Still 4 linked using the stock links. With those tires that were on in the pictures they were pretty big so I had the body pretty much all the way up on the pins and I had no problem. I recently got a set of tires alot closer to stock size (RC4WD Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ 1.55s) And I lowered the body down alot, and they just barely clear. I will probably re work it somehow as I want to make a drop bed for it
