I like that you tapped a hole for the 3rd bucket hole. How far down are the other two studs tapped? Were you able to sink the shock rod tube down much to get anymore length out of the shock?
DZPearl wrote:Very nice job on the new design. I have been following this for the most part and may be confusing ideas given with the actual design itself. I guess that I am looking for a little additional clarification on your newest design. I understand that this design was to eliminate the upper mount/bushing like BDS and Rough Country. And my understanding was that it was going to create lift through compression like the old design but incorporate additional lift by external means without the need of the 1/2" spacer. But I also thought that the design was to relieve spring stress so that someone could use stiffer springs while keeping the strut from possibly topping out. It may be an optical illusion but it seems that this design would create more tension than the prior design. Is there any insight that you can give me on this? Maybe I just need to see it mounted.
As a side note, this post is not an attempt to knock your design by any means. Your products have always been top notch and cutting edge in my book! Without your assistance there would not be as many lifted vehicles as you have absorbed a lot of costs thus helping everyone.
We have come a long way from when I purchased my vehicle new in 2003. At that time I don't remember seeing or finding a lift for our platform. I thought that the only way I was going to get any lift was to write Monster Garage for help. Thanks again Mark!

keep up the good work. i hope these test well and we get access sooner rather than later.
