Just finished my billet shock towers

[jacep]

I needed some more ground clearance and suspension travel for the type of driving I like to do. here are some pics. I made them out of 1/4" 6061 hopefully they hold up if not I'll have to do 7075

more pics with proline trenchers. The tires are about 1.5" taller

Towers look nice.

Ouch that's an extreme angle on those CVDs & dogbones.

Very nice Towers....I like how you added the grooves for looks

Yeah very hard angle on those drive shafts. any body use out drive sleeves or tubes to keep the them from spliting?

Yep. I run sleeves.

The sleeves easy to make but I think the dogbone pins might still be a breaking point.
