real short pole ?

[CarterB]

im running a -4 on a sotcker and its already sitting sh*tty on my hood and i want to go shorter by another 2 or 3 totaling like -7 inches.
Anyone have pics of the top of the pole shortened like 2 or 3 inches and the bottom shortened like 3 inches???

i had my stock pole -2, then i broke it, and -2 again. with -2.5 AMW plate

if the pole was shorter than 4.5"-5" its going to be hitting the hood. (or it would on my JK hood)

hope that helps

i run a -6" AC pole with short turn plate and straight bars... it's close on my WDK hood, but works just fine.

that looks pretty nicely fit frosty....i might just go over to xmetal and see if they can make a -6 or -7 one day and be done with it...but for now i gotta rock stock

Couldn't you just raise the hood shock pad a bit so that it won't hit anything?

BTW - all I see is carbon fiber in that picture...sweet dude!!

My trim lever hits my hood with -4 inch pole and a -4 inch steering setup. I need to raise my padding about 2 or 3 inches to be on the safe side.

yea that carbon fiber looks real good

Frosty's steering setup sure is ganster though urr:

bigger shockpad... if you shorten more the angle part will just be closer to the nose... still won't sit right... xmetal looks better, but you'll be spending more $$$. Hydrodurf and padding is free if you have some scraps... who cares about looks anyways... just get it setup so it functions and can take a beating...

Top Angle

The top angle of the handle pole needs to be a little less (almost straight) to keep it from hitting the hood without using a bunch of pads. The new bun pole has an adjustment for that very thing. I am having Jeff from Waterdawg Kustomz build me one with less angle.
