Rear Cantilever for spring over

[khcdave]

I have been working on a cantilever set up that will work with spring over set ups along with all aftermarket bump stop kits. Goal is to get 14-16 ins of travel while moving the shock out off harms way and getting rid of the week upper mount. A extended shackle will be part of the set up. The levers have 3 holes- 16, 14 and 12 (stock) travel. Stock travel hole will be eliminated in the final design. I have grown tired of beating the crap out of my icons and slamming the lower mounts all the time on rocks- after seeing the SDHQ set up I am inspired. This is in the early stages of design but I figured I would share some pics- crappy Iphone ones. Everthing is pretty raw as I work out the design

The final lever design will be slightly different also.

Your job is cooler than my job.

Is there any way to run a setup like this being spring under or is there not enough room?

I love the cantilever idea but I want to move my axle to inside the spring and notch the frame.

It will work for spring under also. Spring under is actually easier since the springs archs lower- the mount for the lever is the tuff part- clearing the spring. The idea behind this is to make it work for both and be bolt on.

Some pics of the forward shock mounts almost done. 1/4 in mounting plates that bolt to frame with 5 - 1/2in bolts. Frame will be sleeved and bolts will go thru both sides.

Plan is to make the lever mount bolt on also. Stay tuned

Definitely interested to see the finished product and its performance!

Planning on utilizing the standard 3.0"s for the rear or something with a longer stroke?
