    Any updated pics from guys who have installed this kit?

    Heard from a bunch of guys who talked about using 2.5 with this kit, only seen one to date.

    A few quick picks of the 2.5's.. They fit without a spacer, but do rub when flexing. So I'm gonna run a 3/4" spacer.

    Do you make these that mount to the back side of the axle?

    Anyway you could raise my mounts higher into the fender well? There's plenty of room to go up two more inches.. Only reason I ask, is because these 12" shocks are so long I don't have much up travel unless i increase my spring height/arch

    You should have the same amount of up travel unless the shock bodies are longer then the ones we used. And it cant go higher without going out closer to the tire.

    Can you get a couple of pics at full flex? I'd like to see where the tire gets into the shock body. Can you get a pic at full droop from the tire side? All the pics I've seen at full droop look like the shock body gets real close to the bucket side wall. Thanks and it looks great!

    Also you may want to relocate those resi's to the frame.

    K.Gonna have to give me a week till my next day off to get some flexing pics, but with out a small wheel spacer I can't stuff the tire to far without rubbing.

    Why should I relocate the resi's? Is it not got to have the hose looped like that, or you just saying that so that I have more clearance for the tire rubbing?
