Shock mounts when bagging the front?

Post by madslammer »

Hi people. . . Just wondering where are the front shocks relocated when you bag the front?
I've seen several pics of the bags installed, but none of how the shocks are actually re-located :-s
Pics would be greatly appreciated. . .

Well, I'm still looking to get the front bagged. I had some 20's, but I went back to the old setup of 17's and 18's.
Pics would be really appreciated. . . Thanks bro.. . .
