    In the first pic you can see the mounting brackets are mounted between that sway bar relocation bracket you asked about

    Awesome, can you clarify if there's a seperate bracket that you need to purchase for that?

    Should have come with the shocks if you bought new. Did you buy from @HeadStrong Off-Road ?

    Yeah, I did! Maybe it's hidden further in the box, but I took the top layer out and didn't see it at all. I'll double check when I get back home

    Just placed my order tonight with no clickers. They didn’t mention anything about the inventory sale to me? How much are they going for?

    Well, now you can get in it and not have to wait for shipping

    Make sure you push that bracket as deep underneath the sway bar relocate mount as you can when you tighten the bolts down. Be staring straight at it from underneath.

    Yeah, true lol. And under meaning towards the frame?

    Are those rear shocks considered to be better than the piggyback version?

    When you mount those resis, push that bracket towards the centerline of the vehicle as hard/far as possible on both sides. Basically staring at it underneath with your feet towards th back of the vehicle push in towards the engine from both sides and make sure the hose is more vertical with the sticker facing outwards otherwise your tires will rub the hose elbow as I discovered...lol


    ... and yes to your question to Elduderino (those shocks are adjustable via the red knob, piggybacks aren’t)

    My truck will never see saltwater. At least not anywhere near my frame. These boots have two small “breathe” holes at the top of the boot. To get water in there you would have to be driving in it. They don’t salt our roads like that on the West coast. They use something that looks like red brown pebbles almost like lava rock. Gets your rig dirty as hell!

    Chipped shafts lose smoothness over time and can wear out your shock internals quicker. I like the old-school look when these suckers articulate, it’s cool. Just need to get a pic. I’ll try to grab one tomorrow. :thumbsup:
