As stated above I didn't like the travel length. I changed the crossmember mount to a single tab mount and used a early Mustang gas shock.
This is what I ended up with. I now have about 5" of travel. I haven't mounted crossmember yet as I'm trying to figure how much angle it should have.
Here is a very poor shot with about a 47 degree angle. I can move to a lesser degree. What opinions/changes/suggestions do I have? Thanks prior.
