Multi shock front end for the big hits !!

I race a SWB 94 Isuzu Bighorn off road in class 2.

This means you cant change suspension arms or hub mounting points to give you more travel. So the only way is to squeeze more shocks up front to absorb the big hits. Here is how I did it. The shocks I used are the absolute shizzell. They are custom built Bilstiens by Anthony Hewett at Race Shock Specialists in Penrose Auckland. He is a guru and they were cheaper than some off the shelf shite I have brought in the past.

Sanding your knuckles before starting work can help. That way you cant skin them

strictly a racing setup. They put a whole lot of stresses on there wagons we wouldnt even think of doing. Also wheel travel isnt as important at 100mph
