I took a quick look at that prior to posting. It got dark out and i was judging by the stains underneath that it wouldn’t cover it. I’ll take a look tomorrow night

David,
Don't ask me how I learned that lesson. But it had to do with placing that brand new Phantom body on the GS Kit Car, LOL.

Yes it will. I do it all the time.

Go to lowes or home depot and buy a flat piece of steel. Use a saw zaw and cut to the measurement you want, then drill holes. Make sure you clamp two pieces at a time when drilling the holes, so they are identical. Then spray paint them any color you want.

I got the passenger side installed.


Here is a shock of the stock drivers side



This is the passenger side with new shackle


And a view from the back




Hopefully the rain will hold up and I can finish tommorrow

Did you purchase them or make them?

So I got them installed, used the factory shock, but now the ride seems really stiff. Do I need shock extenders? It needed almost 2” of lift. It seemed like when I was tightening the shocks it was pulling the cart down.

Yes you are correct. I just made 1 inch squared blocks as a spacer. One side bolted to frame, other to shock. They don't support the weight just the ride.
