"Red you are right in line with what I was thinking. I was going to make 2 of the extensions in carbon fiber to sandwhich the top peice made out of aluminum, to center the shock"

Well, sort of. I was envisioning the dogleg exts. being offset either F or R, and tieing them together below the upper A arm. The body post mount could then be offset the opposite side to retain your post centerline. With the oversized wheels I really think you need the extra control of two shocks.

Your idea would certainly score big points for uniqueness, but I lean toward that being MTTIW honestly. And you don't necessarily have to run 8 springs either as I'm sure you're aware. We'll just have to see where it goes!

You could also adapt a set of Revo rockers and make inboard shock mounts

Revo style, I like but wouldnt really work for my appplication. I decided to go with an 8 shock ofna set-up. I think there a larger bore size than even the U.E. shocks, which does anyone know the bore size on those? I also have coming my G.A. bulkheads coming. So once i get shocks and bulkheads in hand Im going to start working on shock towers.

well guys im kinda at a stand still now, got my shocks and bulkheads was working on making my shock towers and broke my mill. Now I have to wait on parts :( probally going to just buy some utill i get my mill up and running. With Christmas coming putting a hamper on funds so it's probally going to be after newyears before i get it running.

Well im going to get started again , after a broken mill, a foreclosure and a new baby. I bought a set of shocktowers. There alot of really good ones out there so why bother making them, I went with Integy t4076 for my ofna shocks.

'Really good ones' and 'Integy' don't tend to go hand in hand...
