custom top mounts - rd070707 - 09-09-2014

Hi guys now that ive installed my airbags I am currently still running standard top mounts and bearings but would like to get some custom ones made to give me more drop.

Does any such thing exist off the shelf? I know you can buy baker bm camber adjustable ones but the most vital part for me is that they have to be thinner than the standard items.

Would it be viable to just have a similar made alloy plate made up wirh a top hat welded in to run a small bearing inside? I obviously want it to be as safe as possible too lol

Im not sure you can take much more off the top mounts and still be safe. Wouldnt it be easier to just shorten the shocks?

That would bring the bag closer to the wheel though, and it cant really go much closer without rubbing. I wonder what the total thickness of the baker bm ones are in comparison

We do some that lift the damper up about 25mm. Check the products page on our site

It depends what you need with them ie, top spring cup, sleeved nuts, spacers etc.
