Look in my links on my site in the links section for Lift supports. they make alot of different styles. im going to weld a piece of round steel with a outside lip on it to one side of a 2 piece pinch collar and then mount it on the shock body and the other on the shaft. i will post the links for them collars a little later also on my site.

Are going with these types of shocks then on you crawller then? they are some strong shocks. them lift supports are the only thing i could find that would work for my Beretta the scale is perfect. I should have my shock's all 4 done and ready to etch prime in a week or two. the tough part will be stretchin them BB valve springs. and blasting them im going to media blast them it would be to hard to sand/scuff them. plus I want the etch/primer to adhere to them the best possiable. im not sure what color im going to spray them yet. I can mix & make any color in the world. i though about mabye powder coating them as well. time will tell.

yup these are going on my rock crawler.and i think i will get some longer but softer springs.

and some like 16 incher lift supports then have them compressed at like 10 inches so i can have some droop and they can extend out all the way when i crawl this beast.

You wont be disapointed with them these things are tough. I guarentee you will love them and they look good to. I looked all over before i came up with this idea. I almost got some from a pocket bike but they where a little to big and to heavy. I sure dont need to add any weight to the Beretta thats for sure. try looking at some springs from a spring loaded garage door. most home improvement stors have them and there cheap to.
