Topic: shock mounts

[dothemonkey]

i am wondering in the rear if it is really that bad to do /\ or if pirate is just full of retards.  i would buy sky's but i dont really know that much about that kinda setup.  i also want to go with f250 shock mounts up front and i am wondering if that is a good setup or a waste of time.  need to get crackin on this building up project.  the only direction so far has been down.

I have both of those setup on my truck and i don't have a problem with them.

 What about the aors through the bed shock mounts? Or what about 100 pecent straight up and down with no angle?

[dothemonkey [OP]]

just checking out all the possiblilities and prices cuz i need to do the whole lift in under a grand preferably but so far that is seeming wishful thinking and that includes crossover steering.

Mounting the rear shocks straight up and down would give it more stability on the road.  But then they would have to be long enough for the axle to flex.  and to be long enough to get good flex out of them they would have to go through the bed losing bed space.  thats one reason i didn't go that route.  I actually think my truck handles pretty good on the road for what it is.

Yes thats probally true just trying to help is all, good luck.

i just did my lift in under 200 with just a adjustable drag link just to get me by till i can have the money for the hysteer.  and on the shock thing i mounted mine /\ and the truck seemed even smother than before.

Thats good it would be cool to have like a 16-18   inch shocks in the back and front though
