Curious to know the reason for the bend in the LCAs.  Longer shock length?

Shock mount needs to be lower on the arm when mounting up where it is. Trophy truck tip#1

Does that keep the arm from trying to roll over?

On compression yes. But when below centerline it'll tend to roll on rebound.

I would almost dissagree with that statement.... But a lot going on there....   Wonder if the damping really over comes gravity and spring force.  And I guess limit straps are a must for tire lifting slow crawling.

both ends linked and 4 bumps mounted. 



some heavy tacs and this guy will be ready to sit on tires. 

Run last hood line, mount some coils, and she will be a ride height roller.
