Here is Todd Hodge's Aspahlt Setup:

NOTES: Using BK Brackets on my arms. This moves the shocks out on the arm. This is how I can run such a soft spring. This can be done with 24mm tires but not foam tires that are 28mm.I will take some pics and put them on the site. They are aluminum brackets that have a hole spacing of .275" from center to center of each hole.
BK Brackets-You will need to cut about 1/8" off the shock end to get the correct uptravel since you are moving the shock up on the arm.

I tried the Numan setup before but Hodge's setup suits my driving style better. Both are very good IMO but it really depends on how you drive. I hope this helps
