Today I have completed the rear suspension. The Fox Air Shocks 2.0 with 12 inches of travel came in from Offroad Warehouse along with the shock mounting brackets from Poly Performance. In the two pictures below I have mounted the brackets to where the leaf springs used to go on the rear end and to a 3/16 inch thick plate on the back of the frame.
Here is what the back looked like after all four shock mounting brackets were mounted on.
I then took two of the Fox 2.0 Air Shocks and bolted them into the brackets with 1/2 inch bolts. The shocks came pre-charged so the back of the buggy currently supports its own weight now but there is still tuning of the shocks that needs to be done to improve the ride quality. Here's a picture with the shocks bolted in.
