Lets just say, hypothetically speakin', that I did decide to go with the Fox Shox which unit did you get?
The 980-99-027-A 12.0 EMULSION ext 31.10" comp 19.10" sounds about right to me.
that is exactly right for the front
for the rear, i used 11" which you likely wont fit. i have cleared the way for some pretty long shocks in the back. you'll have to measure your own for the back.
oh, and mine are valved 50-80 front and 60-80 rear. i think i will adjust the rear to 50-80 as well.

My (new best) buddy is on the way to pick them up right now!! :yay:
congratulations!
in that case, before you mount the other side bracket...
you'll have to lower the mounting hole a bit. it would be best if you have the shocks on hand to "dry fit" the shocks to the mount before welding it to the frame.
the holes need to come down and outward about 1/4"-3/8" so the body has clearance for its full range of motion.
you'll love the shocks.
how much were they? 140ish~
i ordered mine with the different valving. for the upper hole being "fouled". i filled, and re-drilled so it had full range of motion.
it is indeed a pita. a lot of work, but you'll like the payoff
i used a bolt.
would this be fixed if the tower were angled out just a bit? just wondering. :confused:
Maybe. The real prob is that the mounting boss on the top of the shock is very short. It's so short that I don't think it would fit in many applications without rework.
Angling the tower out would push the shock out of plumb 'cos there's no room to move the lower mount.
I borrowed a digicam so I'll get some pics going, as soon as I have some coffee.
