Re: My caster mod (with pictures)

So, I trimmed my arms with 2.25" to center holes and didn't have to take all that much off. I did not trim my crossmember at all. (see pics)

I have a question that is sort of unrelated to this caster mod though (sorry to be off topic) -- if you look at the pics of my lower arm with the bumpstop on (pic 3) vs removed (4th pic), it looks like there's no way the shock could be mounted at that much droop because the shaft would need to go through the crossmember. Am I right? Obviously this is affected by moving the control arm forward...

I removed the stop because I read that was necessary when bagging to get max drop. I'm planning to bag with plates and I can't see ever dropping that much just due to the thickness of whatever bag I use. How much clearance between the lower arm and the crossmember can I expect when aired out with that kind of setup?
