    I'm on 35's and I had ADS make custom hosing to get mine here:

    And this was after I failed the first time with it mounted here:

    Ideally the hose needs to be about a 1/2" shorter to really tuck them. I will likely ask them to be shortened when I send the shocks to @TMFF for a rebuild eventually.

    Damn that's a short ass hose. Looks like that should work well for your setup. Although the ADS with the clickers has the fitting come out of the side of the resi I believe
    And with my fox's the whole resi is a shitload longer

    Yeah I really wanna try to figure out a better spot. It's tough with big tires, that's for sure.

    But it won't work with clickers, right? I was doing my spot to hopefully work with clickers and have easy access to them. But now you and Tim have me dreaming of franken shocks with the fox DSC's. I remember someone put them in front of the frame on that crossmember, it's protected by the skid there. But still, difficult to adjust. I gotta really think through it.

    I thought about putting mine there too, but yea clicker access isn't the best. Could prob make it better by cutting back some of the fender apron metal there. I'd still need the hoses to be shortened though. And you and I still have to deal with the fitting coming out of the side of the resi instead of the end.

    And honestly since having mine, I don't really adjust them. I got them where I liked it and haven't touched them since.
    If I go to the desert or something where I would want it to be more stiff I might change them. But otherwise they don't get adjusted much. I'd still wanna have decent access to them though.

    Could just take some silicone or JB weld or something and slather it in there to seal up the holes

    And they made it right. Kuddos to this shop! I feel like an ass. They had to relocate the shop due to the fires. They are taking care of me. Great customer service
