Big Rock Does any one know if shock towers swap?

[Sir Kushington]

Can you swap the shock towers on a big rock over to a kraton 6s? Thanks in advance

IIRC The Big Rock towers just have some additional holes. I too was eyeballing those.

I've purchased parts from them.

They will fit the V3 Kraton. Might sit a little lower, those towers look taller but it'll bolt up. Got several shock mount positions to choose from.

Yes it does. The suspension geometry is different you need the rear a arms too.

No you can't run the new shock towers with the old arms the shock mounting locations changed and it messes up the suspension geometry. I tried it handles like complete ass.

You're right. Dang. I forgot the A arms are different. And the droop screw wings are different too V3-V5, right? Can of worms.

Eh the new arms will work on the V3 chassis, you have to shave off a very slight amount of material and the droop screws will hit the ears but just barely. I think Rpm made their a arms to work with both but don't quote me on that.

This is a V2 M2C chassis.
