    They are just shock mounts they will work with any leaf pack. You just might not achieve the full range of travel with some packs.

    Alright, I'm finally gonna get some and take advantage of today's deal of the day on your website.

    One question I didn't see discussed: What bolt diameter and mounting width are these meant for? You can get lots of different bearing spacers from King.

    Anyone have any pictures of this setup with 12" smoothies with adjusters on the reservoirs? Curious to see mounting options...

    Reservoir mounting options? Ruff Stuff makes universal mounts that you weld on.

    Two zip ties and the bottom of the bed works too.

    I don’t have adjusters, but there’s plenty of room to access them behind the reservoir.

    Edit #2: The reservoir mounts. I think they came from Ruff Stuff. Can't remember.

    I ask because the resis with adjusters have different fittings and i think the hose is pointed differently, that and zip ties look tacky :thumbsup:

    10+ inches of travel, limited by my stock shackles.

    Getting more out of the back let's me fully flex the front, this is the first time my front bumps have ever touched, and I think the shocks still have more to give.

    just a few things.
    I have stock 16in rim with 1.25 spider Trax. My question to you guys is if I install it with 2.5 shock it only rubs if you fully stuff it? But if I don’t stuff it I can still drive on it until I get the correct spacing/ spacer? Just checking because don’t want my truck to be stuck at the Welder’s place after it’s all installed.

    What’s the backspacing of your wheels? Either way, you’ll be able to drive no prob after. It really is only at full stuff.

    Install the lower shock mounts as close to the spring as possible, and you'll be fine for everything but full flex.

    Yeah you will be fine for every day driving. They would only rub when fully stuffed.
