After a long night working in the shop I got the front end suspension completed. The first step was to build mounting points for the Fox 2.0 Air Shocks. I clamped on a piece of angle iron to find the angle and length the tubing needs to be to reach out to the shock.
I then cut and notched tubing to create a triangle support for the shocks and welded them in place parrellel to the frame rails.
After getting the basic triangles on I added an X-support, cutting and notching the tubes, between them to prevent them from being pushed and bent inside. I didnt place the X-support all the way to the point of the triangles to leave space for the shock mounting brackets.
I then welded on the univeral shock mounts from Poly performance with a mock up shock I made. I put them on the inside to get a more ideal angle for the shocks and make sure they would clear the tires when I put them on.
After that I bolted on the Fox 2.0 Air Shocks. Here is a picture of what the whole thing looks like currently.
