Glenn,
Yes there is room for one. You see there is one from the bottom. I did not know if I needed one on the top side too.

I'm with Fast on the tube, and try to mount opposite from shock angle would be best all thought not usually possible. Those are some serious tires.
You can keep your CHANGE, I'd like to keep my DOLLAR.

Glenn,

Your small tube is good for the the straight up force but the shock will be wanting to push back and up at the same time.  Got to remember that the shock will have leaverage on the mount.  Where the top mount bolt is compared to the center line of the mount it's self.  Tube should be a the lest 1.00 inch. Looking good Dan.

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.

Glenn,
When I am looking at your picture, the tubing I need to put in is on the top of the shock mount back to the roll bar?

 I think  I see what you are saying Dan but try taking a pic or 2 from different angles. I think Glenn and Carl are looking for some triangulation that looks to be missing.

but something else also, isn't an American at all.  We have room for but one
flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is
the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a
loyalty to the American people."

Yes top rear from where the top shock bolt go's.  then triangulate back and up to the roll bar.

Finally driving the BAJA. Need to rebuild the front end. I thought after 20 years of running the river beds and the desert before I ran the freeways I should rebuild the front end.

Looking good Dan.  Keep it on the road around home.
