Anyone know of a 2" TALLER top rear shock mount that will suit the normal "eye" on the top of my shocks, and not the usual "pin" style that every man and his dog are pedalling?

Just bought some from RTE Welding & Fabrication in the US to fit my Bilsteins
Good crowd to deal with

Thanks Nick S. Just went to RTE site, mounts look good. I've asked 'em some questions, waiting for reply. See how we go. Cheers!

Thank you McDisco. Now we're talkin'! That's just what I've been looking for. So simple, I nearly whipped up something similar myself. Makes you wonder why more places don't make or sell them and why more people aren't using 'em. I'm placing an order tomorrow.

It is worth looking at Gwyn Lewis in the UK - I have a fair bit of his stuff on two of my trucks

Top bloke, gear based on his own 4x4 and competition experience - copied by others but his stuff is pretty cheap.

Thanks Skiboy. I have some of Gwyns stuff too, but he doesn't do the part I'm looking for. Cheers anyway.

What brand shocks and length are you going to run?

I have someone who wants to sell a full white tiger kit(from LRA) to me, Do you guys see any probs running bigger Shocks rather than 4" ones supplied with the kit?

Cheers Ben

G'day Distokes, my shocks are the Britpart Cellular Dynamic +5". LRA's kit is for a 4" set (+/- 12mm), which makes mine too long. I'm willing to chance it because EVERY other manufacturer does a +2" mounting kit (as is LRA's) for their 5" over shocks. P.S. I'd be interesed in that kit you've been offered, if you decide not to go with it. Cheers Bushranger.

This is the guy, Rob 0429818230
He has a white tiger body and suspension kit for $2000 + a Bruce Davis bulit 4.6 in a disco 1 on gas.
Medowie, NSW.

Thanks for the shock info :)
