    I have been wondering why most relocations don’t do that. Are you still mounting them outboard as well?

    Yep doing outboard either way. I think its mostly cause there is more room up front on DCSB's

    I have been wondering if the valving would change on the shock front to back? Not sure if axle wrap is less with shocks mounted in the front side as well. Curious what you come up with.

    Well you would be using the rebound valving instead of the the compression valving to counteract the axle wrap. What difference does that make? Not a clue.

    Asked Riley at locked and he saw no issues with my plan.

    Where did you get that CAD model? Is it for a 6 ft bed?

    Beauty. Should be good! May go that route as it may give me some more room and not be a rock anchor when on the rocks

    Popped off the deck and I do have room for these new shock mounts. Will need to redo my fender mount too but I think its worth the tire clearance gains. Resi would go up front. I actually like it better strength wise cause the span is 12" instead of 22" like my current ones
