What do you think of this shock tower?

Looks good. Beefy looking up near the mounts with plenty of options (more than one is usually good enough for me )

The price is right, and it is shiny. Shiny is always a good thing

What is wrong with the Nova tower?

Well, I'm running the buggy shocks and thier a little bit cramped with the stock shock towers and I'm trying to give them a little more room to stretch their legs. After looking at the Nova tower, it didnt look like it gave me a position that would give me more travel than the stock. Plus i am thinking of adding 4 more buggy shocks and i have clearence issues with the exhaust manifold. I think that the GH towers have a position far enough out to solve this problem. Tell me what you think.

I have gotten the GH Aluminum suspesion arms and hold up very well, i like GH products aswell but i have never used the shock towers. I would think that the towers won't have a lot of force on them so they should hold up pretty well. Other parts like suspension arm have to be stronger because they take more of a beating. I think those towers will be fine.

You could also look at these, they look like they have a little more to them:

There are guys on this site who run the Nova towers with little to no problem.

As for going up to the 8 shocks, I'm curious as to why. Planning on jumping a two story building or something? I think you will find that the clearance issue will remain. I have New Era towers that provide a decent upper position, but the clearance issue remains both in the front and the rear of the truck when it comes to the buggy shocks on the upper a-arms.

You will find that the rear shocks bang the fuel tank and the exhaust header. You will find that the front shocks bind against the chassis TVPs or end up limiting ride height because of their clearance.

Not saying it can't be done, but am curious as to why you would need to make it happen.

Is the buggy shock set up still good for some bashing?

Since that is primarily what I do with my trucks...no racer here, I'm going to say a big....

HELL YES!
