Re: shock relocator

For the rear, you can take the stock lower brackets, heat and beat the lip of them flat and then flip them side to side and upside down to get 2-3 more inches for your shock.

You'll only gain about 1.5". But, that's a fair amount for free if you do it yourself.
Modify the top brackets & you'll gain another 1~1.5" of travel depending on how high you re-drill the top shock hole & whether or not you 'reverse' the brackets F/R orientation.

For about $70, ECE, P.O.L, & CPP does the fabricating for you.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
