Here's my little bit of originality- I'm sure someone else did this before, but I'm the first to post it. It's basically 2 car shocks mounted on the A-Arms and the bottom holes of the chassis extender. i'm going to use this setup on my next truck project. Anyways, here's the pics.

Here's some of the clearance I had to make, I shaved down the shock mounts and I cut some of the knuckle area out.

(sorry for the blurry pics) :oops:

1. It keeps more tension with the shorter shock.

2. It doesn't put any stress on the upper suspension arm, which sometimes causes it to break.

3. It looks cool. 8)

Cool. Did you just do it to the front? I might use that if I find my other car shocks.

I did that last year when I got my H2.
