Default JKS Crossover shock mount ??

I was viewing some build threads last night and saw some guys doing a custom rear shock mount... Well since I lack fab skills I found this: http://store.jksmfg.com/merchant2/me...ory_Code=Shock

Thoughts?

I wouldnt run it.

The more of an angle your shocks are at, the least effective they are.

I suppose it serves a purpose if you bought shocks that are too stiff for what you want,but then a new pair of shocks is generally cheaper than this setup.

You can also squeeze a little wee bit more travel out of your suspension with this bracket, although even with the lower shock mounts raised up high and the proper length shock, I have never had an issue with lack of flex.

Its a cool idea of having multiple mounting points plus a bpe but for that price I don't know. I would rather just use a couple of 1" wide pieces of angle iron and make some bpe for the rear. Inexpensive and easy.
