Thanks, but i think it was just a stomach bug. I gusseted the plates to help with any rock impacts --- i've had several already. Actually, it's moving the shocks inwards that provides more travel. As you go outwards, the range of the shock limits the arm more and more. I'm pretty happy with the angle i can get on them ... the pics i just posted above show the box tube i'll use, it'll be notched underneath to sit down around the frame tubes and be parallel with the arms. I'm just going to cut the bottom off the box ends and drill them out to mount the shocks. If I'm wrong with where they're at, its trash and start over time lol. I don't have hubs yet, and without getting and knowing the correct bearing diameter & offset, i can't make my spindles. I figured I would try a tack job on the arms and make a 90-degree wood hub and spindle just so i can set it down and see where it sits at with me in it.
