First on my list is to build a rear shock hoop on the Explorer so that I can run longer shocks. Right now I have a shock that has 9.25 inches of travel. It has 3 inches of up travel and is bottoming out 5 inches before my bump stop. I need to raise the upper mount and then install longer shocks. It should cycle 14-15inches when I'm done.

Are you gonna have to cut into the floor in the rear or are you essentially just moving the mounting point to right underneath the floor?

It was when you were here and I've been in Atlanta since then so my guess is yes but I'm not sure.

I'm not sure yet. I originally moved the lower mount from the leaf spring perch to up on the axle because it was limiting my down travel. I lost 2-3 inches I think but I'll have to measure to see. I'm going to move the lower back down to the original mount and then see how high the top has to go. I have 2 inches that I can go up on the upper without having to cut the floor so I'm hoping I can make it work. If not I'll cut the floor and then weld it back up so that the shocks are still outside the truck.

Is the Cobra a Mod motor or a 5 . slow?
