Re: Rear shock questions
This may and may not help on shock placement.
mini truck mag had a tech on shock placement for what shocks you want to run.
it goes like this.
desired wheel travel / Shock stroke = X ( shock postion, measured from the frame pivot )
X is a % of the total lengh of the a-arm or the rear lower bar
here is the example they gave.
Rear
10" (travel) / 6.5" (stroke) = 0.65
the rear bar they mounted it on was 30.75. 0.65 * 30.75 = 19.9
so they mounted it 20" from the frame pivot. then collapsed the shock and made the upper fame mount.
the did the same on the front.
Don't know if it will help but I was wondering it myself.
