pugwash Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 apart from scorpion and equipe, who makes very raised upper shock mounts? i can't really be bothered to make my own, and i want to riase the upper mounts by up to 4 or 5 inches. ideas anyone?

David_LLAMA4x4 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Gwyn Lewis I sell Gwyn's bracketry to go with my Rough Country shocks... it is simple, strong and actually worked out properly! Too much of the other stuff simply doesn't add up when you do the shock length / travel to mounting heights!! David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Humphreys Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I have Gwyns fitten to mine, they work very well. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I have Gwyns fitten to mine, they work very well. Yeah, same here, got them from David at Llama 4x4. Very pleased with them so far Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michele Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 and i want to riase the upper mounts by up to 4 or 5 inches. 4 or 5"?? (gulp) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPR Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 4 or 5"?? (gulp) I recently some clever mounts advertised in the US rags. The actual shock mount swivels. When you start getting very long travel flexy suspension, the stresses on the shock mount can be pretty serious as the lower mount cycles with the axle. I think I also saw something similar from Devon 4x4 ? Sorry, this doesn't answer your extended mount question, just adds to the complexity...

pugwash Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 my suspensio is based around standard height springs and a balanced front/rear setup. So it's actually the fronts that i want to raise up 4" or so, and the rears just 2"-3" which will give balanced suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 balanced, front to back maybe, left to right.... now thats a different story.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pugwash Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 that's not a problem i'm mounting the engine in the passenger seat it won't be perfect but it will help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Jim - now that is the first good idea i have heard you come up with. it wont be that much out with the G and T box there as well, plus you can always rest your arm on it to fine tune the balance! any thoughts on 7S yet?

landrover598 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 What dampers are you using ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugwash Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 james- 7S is looking quite hopeful at the moment- the in-laws are coming down so I will need to get away. you going up friday morning? Dave- probably going to be using Pro-comps, but it depends what lengths i will need. Am buying shocks after i have sorted out spring rates, and damper mounts- am leaving it all as late as possible so that i can buy springs suitable for axle weights. (in the meantime i have some super saggy orange ones!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
