Can these shock mounts be welded to the side of the housing rather than the top like most people end up doing?


Nice SAS as always coming out of your shop! Is the guy a local? If so, tell him about the CO4RJ

Stock location, 12", and yes, I weld them onto the front of the housing on the DS and back on the PS.

I like how you are humble & don't embrace the accolades, then go on to remind everyone that it's a matter of efficiency because of the number you've done....that says a LOT about your character. If I had the money for an SAS I'd use you - good job man.

Thank you.

The most important thing to me is making sure I turn out a quality product to make the customer happy. We fly through the installs simply because we know exactly where every little adjustment needs to be made. I don't use instructions anymore because I have a blue print of what I want in my head now. That, and some of the measurements in the instructions are off a little, and I have tweaked them over time to maximize performance and to make sure that things don't rub, bottom out, and/or interfere.

I appreciate the accolades, but I post these builds to show the quality of work we try to turn out. Not to pump my ego up. I love what I get to do for a living, and understand that if my customer isn't happy, then I will lose my job. My customers keep me in business, so they will always get the best service possible from me. That includes after business hours as well.

Awesome job!
This axle came out of an Ftoy built for comp use. That is to suck the front end down with a winch and for a limit strap.

Hey Scott as usual a fantastic job. I dont think that I will ever have the skill at fabrication that you have acquired. I believe that god blesses people with different gifts and yours is the skill to fabricate, it is truley wonderfull to see somebody share their gifts and tallens to help people around them. And all at a very reasonable price. I think that is why you love your job so much. I will be bringing up the third member out of the Taco with the e-locker that i scored a while ago for you to do the gear set. Any way again great job, your customer will be very pleased.

Hahahahaha, I saw that firsthand when he built the cage for my 4Runner. I'm trying to measure angles with an angle finder, tape measure, digital level, etc....... and Scotty comes over, looks at it for a second, grabs a piece of tube and heads to the bender. He bends the tube, walks over to the 4Runner and it fits perfect while I'm still trying to get an angle measurement
