I agree, I've used them and have been totally satisfied. Also, there are manufactured 2" upper shock mount drop brackets available.

I think I used solid 1.25 square bar, then a small piece of angle on the side screwed to the frame behind it to keep them from tipping, and a real small piece on the other side that I bolted the shock between. Angle was 2x.5x.125 or so. Can also use that to tilt the shocks back, they stand up straighter and are stiffer that way, but not that much more.

What am I thinking, here is a photo maybe that will give you some ideas if yours is the same.





On the G9 I was able to cut the plastic on the inside and outside of wheel well (roughly at edges of tread, or the span where it might rub as our tires are rounded ATV tires that is mostly in the middle half of the tire tread), drill some small holes in it, and ziptie the plastic back to the frame. IIRC I cut the plastic maybe 4" high slits or something and ziptied the bottom back. I did another and made Z brackets to hold the plastic back, then thought why bother and ziptied mine, its still working 11 years later. That way the mud stays out of the engine compartment because all of the well is still there. I also chopped off the rear of the rocker around 1.5" and clipped just a little of the plastic off the corner of the body there. But that was on G9s. It does not hit the rear mudflap but is close.

Thanks a ton!! Got some ideas now if HD springs don't work.

HD springs should take care of it. I looked at mine this weekend, I didn't use zipties I used galvanized wire. I slit the front of the wheel well around 3-4" high on each side, then drilled some small holes about 1" from the cuts into the center section maybe less than 1" from the bottom edge. I ran the wire from the holes into holes in the side of a frame gusset ahead of the well to pull it back from the tire, twisted the wire off and that is it. A little flat black paint squirt and you can't see it even if you looked inside there.

Just got the Jakes HD springs installed and it still rubs on some bumps and corners with weight on the back. It is better though. I guess one of these days when I have some free time I'll play with the liner.

What size wheels and tires did you go with? I am thinking about keeping mine stock and putting on some nice rims and tires. Yours looks nice!

I got my wheels and tires from Wicked Carts and they are 12" wheels with a 215/40 on them.
