Very interesting for sure. Do you drive it often? Any action shots?

I believe your rear upper shock mounting is off. The white blocks typically are bolted to the front of the rear tower instead of the rear. That makes the rear shocks incline slightly forward, inline with the direction of the suspension compression. Are you not getting any binding with that setup? Nice looking 10-scorcher all in all. :D

ya, you either need to flip the whole tower around, or flip the mounts to the frontside of the tower.
