Default Post your relocated shocks, crossmembers, etc

Didnt know where else to put this so... Anyone have pictures of your relocated batteries, relocated shock mounts, custom cross members etc?

Thinking about moving my battery to the rear and moving the shocks so they are more vertical. Also going to be building a trans crossmember. Kinda looking for some ideas.

Red02Chevy did some nice work on his tahoe.

Here's my junk. Pic turned out a little blurry, but it's obvious what I have going on back there.

I'd like to do something like that, shocks behind the axle, somewhat vertical.

Gotta get the truck lowered and see how much room I have to play with. Ideally I'd like to have the lower shock mount down around level with the bottom of the pig.

I am gonna do some rear suspension fab work when I get home from work in a few weeks. Relocate rear shocks, sway bar, redo the xmembers, safety loop, fuel cell if it can be built in time, batt relocation, flip kit and assassin bars. I went with QA1 shocks, their comp engineering lower coil over mount kit, upper shock mount and sway bar.

Should be a good bit of fab work and fun.
