The rear shock can be shortened, but an SSD shock should get you low enough.

Josh - The bolts can bend when mounted the other way, this is a bit sturdier, and he just some tabs onto the ars by where the shock mounts.

Here is another pic where I put a tab on the lower arm you can use the shock mounting bolt too if you want I just wanted every thing to look stright

I have american star a-arms I will have to bolt it to the lower shock mount. What about mounting the bar its self to the frame.

I went to home depo and got the U bolts. Thay came with the back straps and nuts. If you all want I will take more pics up close. But here is the pic again.

It would be great if you could.....Thanks

Ok here we go.

first one is a pic of the frount you can see the two U bolts and the strap in the back.

second on is a side pic.

third one you can see the straps and how they bend around the frame.

the fourth one is of the tab I made and welded on from the front.

the fifth one is the tab from the back side.

the U bolts did not bend in to the sway bar and if it does there is room for that. I checked and there is anywhere for a 1/8 of a inch and maybe more from where the sway bar goes in the tub of the mouning bar.

I made the tabs for the bottom mount so I could just remove two bolts and then go mxing or woods riding only removing one side of the sway bar with out having to undo the shock bolts.

Hope this is enuff info if not I will post more.
