TXT front top shocks distance?

textony · 02-20-2018, 03:08 PM

Im currently putting a TXT lifted axle on a marathon and was wondering if anyone out there has a txt with the front cowl off who could measure the distance between the top bolts of the front shocks? I could eyeball it but id prefer to have some proper numbers before i start fabricating.

Can't you use the existing Marathon upper shock brackets? They are the same except possibly the distance apart.

Thats the goal. Thats why i asked for the distance. :)

That was my point. They are so close how could it matter?

Gotcha. It may work. I was just worried the upper brackets on the marathon frame were too narrow.

They look pretty close. My buddy has a 94 Marathon we changed shocks on a couple months ago. His next to my 96 TXT looked close. I have a 79 that I have stripped to make a trailer out of it or I could measure that one for you. The only differences in the two shocks is the length due to different axle to spring pad dimensions.
