thoughts on this shock mount setup...

opinions of why and why not to use this setup....

more detailed pics can be found here: http://www.offroaddirect.com/Install/SAS001.pdf

basically, mounts the shocks to the front spring plate, and the tower that bolts to the frame.

i've been racking my brain and reading everything i can find on suspension design, and i am OH SO CLOSE to just ordering their complete SAS setup and being done with it.

because youd have to cut the coil bucket out of the way and f 250 shock towers are cheaper...

That and i dont think youll get a ton of travel out of em, that not a very far dstance from top of spring to where that mount 'el be.

coil buckets are no longer an issue, i picked up a K1500 frame last night.

If theres no coil buckets then just run ford towers...Would be much cheaper. I got a set of super duty tower i may be willing to part with the mounts on the axle will work fine w/ no buckets in the way, you may just have to persuade them slightly
