That's where I was thinking of putting the upper shock mount on mine. Let me know what you end up with so I can copy what works haha.
Re: White 1994 F-150 Sleeper Build
Will do. Right now those are 3.0x10" stroke smooth bodies. I was digging around on the net and figured out that the 3.0 bypasses that Fox sells for the Raptor actually have a .5" shorter compressed length than what I have, but a 1" longer extended measurement, so I may try to find a deal on a set of those and swap em on down the road to get a bit more droop travel.

Re: White 1994 F-150 Sleeper Build
I actually need the upgraded 3.0 ones that Fox does. Thanks for asking for me though!

So with spring under a 2 link isnt necessary or do you have something else in mind?

As it's been explained to me, spring under takes care of the issues with axle wrap, and a 2 link is not needed.

I was planning on using them not selling them! So I want to see how this goes downS00TLYFE wrote:Travis don't you have a set of raptor take offs for sale?
Re: White 1994 F-150 Sleeper Build
Do you have an eye to eye measurement on the stock takeoff raptor rear shocks? I'm curious to see how it compares to the 3.0 fox bypasses that they sell in the aftermarket.

This is what I measured eye to eye
Raptor shocks
18" collapsed
29-1/2" extended
11-1/2" stroke

Re: White 1994 F-150 Sleeper Build
Yup, those are the same measurements on the aftermarket 3.0 bypass. Interesting...
Re: White 1994 F-150 Sleeper Build
Do the upper and lower shock eyes have bushings in them? Any idea what the mounting width is? 1.5"?

Look into the King external threaded cap and welded end, very short.

Re: White 1994 F-150 Sleeper Build
Have they said why not mount the shocks on the outside of the frame? Seems like it would up the stability if not just a little.

Re: White 1994 F-150 Sleeper Build
Would be way more expensive to go outside the frame rails.

Yes, bushings and 1.5" width.nubreed71 wrote:Do the upper and lower shock eyes have bushings in them? Any idea what the mounting width is? 1.5"?
Re: White 1994 F-150 Sleeper Build
Awesome, thanks for the info! Might have to use those for mockup til I can find a deal on a set of the 3.0 bypasses.
