    The top picture is at articulation with 31s I’m going 33s
    On the other side the shock is 1/8” from hitting the frame and the shock is 12”s of shaft showing

    I'm for anything better than the FUBAR'd engineering toyota came up with in regards to shock location, the whole "long shock/short shock" is just fucking stupid

    Couple things about your setup to note that don't directly correlate to the Archive kit: your top shock eye looks about 18" above the frame, necessary for what you're doing, but makes clearance difficult. Then you have bypass tubes towards the tire. The Archive kit has the top shock eye only about 5" above the rails, which allows the shock to be closer to rail while allowing shock to angle inboard during articulation. I've made it clear from the beginning that everyone will need spacers and negative offset wheels.

    The bracket is built in a way that allows the freedom for you to put it where you feel best. With the 12-14* shock angle we used , there is no issue with a bottom out and he bought 12" shocks so we are not limited on droop. I decided to keep the bracket at this height in order to have a 3rd weld point in the center bridge of the bracket.

    This looks pretty cool - excited to see how it ends up. Almost makes me want to keep my tires poking out.

    Shut up Monte. :luvya:

    So I'm curious as to why noone has frenched the shock bracket into the frame an inch or so to gain more tire clearance? Properly done, it wouldn't weaken the frame any and you could always plate the frame while you're in there if so desired.

    You'd have to cut the bed side in order to gain any clearance room. There is only about .25-.5" of clearance on the back side of the bracket.
