I’m pretty new at welding. I tried to make my swing arm as strong as possible. The original design was to have two shock absorber, one on each side of the arm to balance the reaction force of the shock to avoid twist and bending of the swing arm.
The issue here is that with two shock absorber, there’s almost no suspension at all. So, I removed one and it’s perfect.
Load capacity is 600 lbs each and i can't find a pair with 300 lbs each.
I’ve seen some professionally built system with only one shock and they are far less beefy looking than mine.
Do you guys think having just one shock will off balance the force and twist the swing arm?
