I have one but haven't installed it yet. It's going under along with the new rearend, hopefully in time for Winterfest. It's a good looking piece - sorry I can't say any more than that just yet.

I run it. I don't know what you want to know other than it is a great product. Allows for multiple shock mounting positions. I don't know if I would pay the full amout for one, (I picked mine up used at a great price) but one could be fabricated fairly easily.

Where exactly does the shock hoop bolt up? Just interested in builing one.

You can fabricate brackets that will bolt up a bar to the existing holes that mount the top of the shocks currently, or as most do, pick up the holes that mount the bump stops for the rear axel. I made extended bump stops and a shock mount bar into one assembly. Only hard part is working around the exhaust. The bar also creates a cross brace from one side of the frame to the other.....somewhat like a ladder frame.

Most people move the bottom shock mounting brackets up on the axel at the same time so they can size the new shocks one time.
