Do you guys think there is a demand for a rear crossover shock mount? The purpose of the mount is to allow for adjustment in the shock angle to configure your articulation and ride comfort needs.
There's one out there now but it's pricey.
You remove your rear shocks and mount this using the stock upper shock bolt holes. Your shocks then mount to this bar at the angle you choose. The more you angle them, the softer the ride is and more travel you can achieve.
I wanted to see if there's interest in a product like if the price was lower.

yeah JKS makes something like this but I feel like i'm paying more for the name than the product. It could be made in bare steel with two shock bolts for like $100 or even less. The bar itself would be left un-drilled so you can drill the multiple mounting holes wherever you please. Pre-drilled shock holes, if requested, could be done.

I saw their arms at 4wd hardware last time I was there. Seems like they were HUGE.

Have'nt seen them, but I imagine with a little patience it wouldn't be all that hard to fab up. Get us a link, I'll build a set and post the thread so we all can try it for little money : )

If some one installs this they should do a "how too thread", many of us including myself would like to see this and also a review on the pro's and con's of the crossover.
