Re: Trailing arms

Does the mounting point in the axle have to be at the bottom of the axle or can it come off the front? Don't see why it can't be at the front of the tube and not the bottom.

Re: Trailing arms

Bars are zero at ride height was worried about droop and the bar hitting something and twisting and breaking shocks, as far as bolts I've seen some 3/4 break during a hard impact was just wanting some more insurance.

Re: Shock set up for jumping

That would explain why the trucks doing big air are using the nitrogen shocks and no coilovers then.

Be hitting jumps, lots of 4-8...

Was also thinking about removing the lowest leaf on the leaf pack to lower my spring rate in the rear as well

Thank you for taking your time to give me some help with this. Waiting on springs and shim kits now, I'll post when they get in and get started in it.

dump the bump pressure to 50psi, destroke them, go with extra light on rebound and light/med on compression.
Would you still recommend revavling the shock or try the springs first and then revalve?
