The leverage link is not a lift, it is just a way of getting a long travel shock in a confined space. I'm not entirely convinced you'd actually gain anything on a H2 though.

The IFS is the limiting factor, not necessarily the shocks. To get more travel out of an H2, you really need to start doing something different at the front end. A lift kit will get you considerably more travel, but it is still IFS at the end of day. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>I thought this thread was about Fred and Cooper?!>$#%%^%#$@^%&^&

The leverage arm is, as Phil was explaining, a mechanism that replaces the need for extreme long travel shocks. If you have a suspension lift on a Jeep or something that has extreme articulation, the leverage arm would allow more traditional shocks to be utilized and not have to resort to long travel shocks.

It's the same concept used on the rear swingarm on bikes. Much more engineering and dynamics and dialing in.

I've seen it on something. Maybe desert racers/baha type trucks or something.

Leverage links are also common on F1 cars and the dreaded monster trucks. But alas...Rize does not currently offer anything for the H2 per the e-mail I got back from them today (despite the fact that they list an H2 on their website).

Oh yeah...nice mutt too!
