i could use some opinions on the rear of the vehicle I am rebuilding. I know I could go with shocks, but with the crossmember already in place I am looking for alternatives. anyone have an opinion? The bar is directly over the top of the rear end. bags? or ???

[robbie thoreson]

in my opinin, u need shocks. even with bags. the shocks are the only thing ik of that do what they do. your rear would just bounce around like a rubber ball. u could get away with it if its just gunna sit around but if its a driver u need some. like the way it looks tho and make sure to mount that fuel pump down

im thinking as close to the tank as I can get, but what do you mean by down?

[robbie thoreson]

well i was talking about fasening it to the truck but after i posted i noticed it didint have lines on it yet lol but make sure its below the tank. they dont work well on air

Why not put another crossmember back closer to the tank so the rear clears it and also give you someplace for shock brackets to attach to. Then cut the other crossmember out.

no leave that one there. its hard to tell from the pic but it should clear. iv got close to the same set-up under mine and it lays the bumper without clearence issues. im slowly workin twards bags but other issues right now.
