I just changed the mod on my big bore shocks . I used fuel tubing and a small washer . I cut the tubing as thick as the shock spacer. I then put the washer inside the shock cup . The airline tubing I used smashed up I just noticed .

Then I just removed one of the top spacers

Update : Been a minute ... I'm getting some parts powder coated and just looked at this Integy roll cage to send out ...... GARBAGE !!!!
Welds look like :;*% . it's not even square ! Keeping my old new era roll cage . I actually found metal shavings stuck to it !
Pics , looks like they took a metabo to it !

And by hand they feel pretty much the same in weight .

Thanx , yes they did . I never checked to see if there is flex in it .
