shock mounts

Post by Hoonz »

i was lookin at the shock mounts of the rear diff today ... on both my wagon and ute ...

they aren't mounted symetrical (same either side .. the drivers side is more more to the center

is there any reason for this? or is it just nissan booty fab to make it fit?

i was lookin up top at the room above the diff and uppershock tower. With a body lift, there is heaps of room. I might make a new tube cross meber up top, lifted higher to fit longer shocks. I could lift it up heaps and cut in to the floor and put in 15inch stroke on just a 3-4inch lift. Anyone tried this mod. I know people have done it, jus wanna noe if there is sumtin i should watch out for.
