Handling is exactly the same as before the twisties...
Flex is now limited by shock length...
Am looking at longer shocks now but won't go stupid as there are other weak points to consider.
HRZOOK
When looking at fitting longer shocks make sure you spin the mount on the diff 90 degrees this will take a lot of streess of the mount and the shock.

On the Front ya mean Sam?
Does the front Chassis bend like I have heard when you install too long a shock.
Any other problems I should pay attension to Sam?

Have you strengthened the mounts on the diff yet ???
SAM
Sorry Sam only just seen this post
Yeah they are ORI polyflx bushes...they do flex well I guess the only test now is to see how long they last.
No haven't strengthened diff mounts yet but will do

when you did the new arms did you consider making them a bit longer, in order to extend the wheelbase and allow for bigger tyres with less lift?
If you did what were the complications? I have been told that you can do this on coil sprung cars but im unsure of whether its possible on the front coilover setup of a coilly sierra.

Yeah I can screw out the arms they have 5" of thread. This would give me a longer wheel base.
But ATM have not looked into it

if you are still running the standard tube upper mounts they will not allow much tolerance for axle repositioning. I run rancho 5000's which only just fit up the tube, and the left one is dented at the front and the right one dented at the rear, i.e. the standard axle posi is spot on in line with the upper mounts. You will have trouble with the shocks fitting up the tube if you move the axle, you will have to change the shock mounts to compensate.

A1Zook modified the upper shocks mounts.
I think he used bigger diameter pipe and yes he also shortened the mount but this was to achieve more droop. If you shorten the mount you also have less up travel
