Rear shock absorber brackets

We have the first BigJimny product - a Rear Shock Bracket....



These new brackets are designed to:

1. Add a new dimension of rotation to improve the shock absorber operation

2. Create an adjustable position to ensure the shock absorber does not foul the springs.

3. Move the shock absrober up out of harms way

4. Provide an extra inch of length to the shock absorber.

See BigJimny shop for details

Sweet .. just ordered ours.

any news on the recovery points Martin ?

Jason

jason,

I have the recovery point here, it just needs some M10 bolts in order for it to be ready. Once I get the bolts then you can come over and be my tester

Martin

Martin and fellow Big Jimny Forumers,
i am also using this rear shock absorber bracket set up on my jimny..
It will indeed improve the way the rear abosorbers pivots when the axle travels. :laugh:
This is an improvement over stock mounts!


This is another trick i did to prevent the bolt from coming loose all too often.
I drilled all the way tru the original shock mount hole at the axle.
Fit in a long long bolt and it's a better way to securing the shock.I took a photo of my setup and post it soon to better explain.It may not be a new trick,but it'd be great to share with new jimny owners here who's rear shock comes loose real quick!!
Notice also the Taniguchi Panhard Rod correction bracket mount.

A through bolt.....



And to prevent 'fouling' of absorbers/springs,it can be solved with x4 castor correction bushes at the rear trailing arms..this will work wonders for the prop shafts angle too!

Cheers to more inventions!!!

Lookinhg good.
Our new Shock mounts arrived on saturday and I have to say, Martin, the quality is superb.

Fitting took about 20 minutes and Jason opted to use the offset brackets giving the most distance from the mount. this then gives us 5mm or clearance between the body cross member and the shocker on the nearside.

Cannot wait to give it a try off road, Jason fitted the bolts back onto the lower mount point using an impact wrench so I hope these donot work loose (he has just bought a pillar drill too, so I have a feeling ne may be making a few modifications of his own to incorporate split pins on all his nuts now!!)
