Theres only a $5 difference between the 180 and 190 is the reason I ask. I know the rim can handle the 190.

Ivan, how well does the rear end ride with the shock at that angle? I ask because i have done almost exactly the same thing, minus the welding part for my upper mount, and my shock angles back a bit like yours. I havent gotten the back end parts all together yet, but i was a little worried about the back being tight or harsh to ride. just curious, nice job btw.
I did that.

Ivan, I know your not on much but I want to see if you could make me the upper shock mount and then I could weld it on myself. Im going to go with the exact setup as you. Thanks! PM sent.
