You can tell these aren't even close to being straight up and down from each other. I think I need to make some adjustments.  Side view: Doesn't look bad.  Rear view: Something ain't right.  |

Foot, why is the clevis on the lower part of the shock offset to one side? All the ones I've seen are centered. That looks to be the problem. Perhaps if you have the offset towards the tire. Looks like that might hit the tire though.

RD, you're right about them hitting the tire if turned the other way. I measured the distance between the top shock mounts, and the bottoms, and they aren't the same. The bottoms are about a 1/2" wider than the tops. You think they would at least be close, but no cigar.  |

"The bottoms are about a 1/2" wider than the tops". Why am I not surprised. Very nice looking shocks btw.

I need to make some adjustments. Maybe some steel plates offsetting the top mounts? I'll figure it out. |
