So im going to relocate my rear shocks like in the picture....but can I use the bar thats already there? Or will those angles be unheardof? Cause it sits further forward than the axle.

yoterr

the reason for locating the shocks like in the pic is to fit a longer shock in a small place and kind of reduces the shocks dampening capability so if you moved them inward and then forward ude have a long shock that didint dampen a whole lot

Ok because I wanna run the Bilstein 5100 Shocks in the back with a 4" lift but idk if 4" is high enough to use those and still have enough up travel.

yoterr

what size travel shocks are they? you can measure your shocks "colapsed length, and extended length..then just add 4-5 " to that and you should be golden..or more if you have flexy springs...most of the time people running shocks like the above is because they have ALOT of down travel and not alot of uptravel basically running no lift with more flexible springs...so if your running lift springs or blocks 4-5" bigger shocks should be no problem

ok cool...yeah im going to be running the RC 4-5" lift and going to be doin a Ubolt flip and thought about the relocatin of the shocks. But if they should be fine then im not gunna worry about it.

yoterr

i cant remember right now but doesnt the u bolt plate have the mount for the shock?..in either way the more virtical the shock the better

RogueYota

yes it does so I will have to get different shock mounts for the axle.

how about this? 100% complete bolt on. All you need in addition to this is a u-bolt flip kit.

I like it....and thats usin that stock bat that the tank is mounted too? Will a ubolt flip kit fit with that there?

huh? didn't get the first part, but look at the second photo carefully, notice the u-bolts are upside down? Disregard the lift block in there though. You might have to move the brake line a little around it, I don't know. But if Bud Built sells this, I don't see this setup not working.
