Mr. Blaine?s shock relocation mod

[Joel77]

Mr. Blaine:

I think Claytons is selling a shock mod kit VERY similar to what you do. Did they basically copy yours???

its an excellent mod, why shouldnt somebody be making money of of it?

[mrblaine]

I'd like to believe that I was the first to do it to the TJ, I know I was not the first to relocate shocks, that's been around as long as there have been shocks.

There have been shock relocation kits for jeeps as long as there have been jeeps.

My way of doing it has been to use the Ford shock towers, I place the shock slightly more forward to keep it 90 degrees to the effective line of the lower arms.

And their price is not too bad.

I don?t believe I ever mentioned in my post that they shouldn?t be making money of it. I simply stated the facts as is and asked if it was the same setup Mr. Blaine is doing.

Maybe it's because he was getting his jollys from one of your pics:
