    uhh... just a quick question.. are you bumping your suspension out before your locating those shock tabs on that axle? if so, screw the lines, re-locate them wherever they need to be so they do not rub on anything. from there, mount as per typical mounting instructions....

    Just move the lines, be careful and bend slightly in different areas and you will be fine. I cant find a pic of the driver side but you can see how mine are angled. For clearance they are just above where my spring plates are with the complete leaf pack and that allows you to drop the bed cage pretty far down too

    Edit: Here you can see it just bending up and over the shock mount

    This, tack EVERYTHING and cycle one last time before you weld anything on for good too. I tacked the lowers first and located the top mounts off that

    By bumping do you mean cycling? If so then yes I'll be cycling before welding everything for good .. My whole bed cage is still all tacked incase I need to make any changes
