Please post Pics of 3600 Rear Suspensions (Leaf/ShockAbsorber)

Looking for pics of 3600 rear setups

I think I'm decided on how I'm doing this, but just in case you're smarter than me () I might want to adopt something different

I'm dropped in the rear (shackles to top of frame) and my axle is still under the leafs.
So far, I'm planning on welding lower shock mounts under the axle and running a crossbar between my notch for the tops.


Also, Q about the geometry here.

If my absorber is straight up and down, vs being at sat a 65 degree angle in at the top, does that change the psi/force/resistance????

Not being a geometry guy, I'm thinking that the leverage created by the angle would make the shock behave 'softer'... correct????

Or am I mistaken here?

yes you are right.
straight up and down= 100%
10 degree= 90%
30 degree= 86%
45 degrees = 70%

Hope this helps Mark

Killer... perfect, thank you!
