Well I got together all the parts
a Arms with hubs / spindles complete, tie rods, shocks, and KidsOnQuads shock relocator
It all came together FAIRLY well, straight forward parts swapping. Then I stepped back and looked from the front. Both tires tip in at the top by at least an inch, maybe an inch and a half.
The things that did go wrong all seem to revolve around the shock bracket. It took a lot of grinding to make it fit. The top shock mount would not allow the shock eye to go up far enough, grinder area number 1. The bottom mount bracket had to be ground to clear the frame gussets. My first impression of what may fix it all is that the bracket needs to have a bit more rise and just a little bit more width. Plus I had to hack up my fender support to clear the bracket. To be honest it appears that the bracket design is junk.
Any ideas?
The only good news is that the added travel and the such improved the ride a lot.
