Long Travel Resi Mount Conundrum

Curious what are you guys doing here. Have bumper side brackets where it seems King Reservoir should mount. Surely not the first one who has dealt with this. I had assumed I could use my King mid travel brackets which place the reservoir more vertical but hose and reservoir do not allow for this alignment.

Not a big fan of mounting directly to the brackets as the reservoir will stick out pretty far and seems like would be just asking to get damaged but feels like options are limited unless I ditch the brackets.

Would love to see pictures of how others have their resis mounted.

 

For now I guess I am just going to remove the side brackets, then maybe fab a resi mount later and angle this up a little.

Thanks. These are what came with the shocks. Not sure if its the adjusters or what but the fit isn’t very good. Hose is a little long. If I get the reservoir to fit the hose touches the springs. I will get it to work but may need to fab a skid to protect the end of the reservoir. It may be the hose should have been angled straight down off the shock instead of at a 45. I will post more pics tomorrow. Not an insurmountable problem but something is not correct.

Bob’s your uncle.

 

Either way you go, weld on or the bolt on version, you may need to loosen the fittings and readjust them.

 

TC specific coilovers? looks like the same issue I had, reservoir hose too long meaning you have to mount the reservoir further forward on the frame than the rad support mount allows, or accept a ridiculous amount of hose kink between the shock and the reservoir.

Keep the bumper supports mount, weld some small tabs on the bottom of the supports and you'll just have to play with the location of the reservoir to ensure you have the proper hose slack.

 

Yeah this is exactly the issue. Looks like the non-adjuster reservoir is an easy fit, but the adjuster makes it much bigger and the hose is much longer. I was looking at the BAMF bumper supports which would fit out of the way but not interested in spending another $200 right now lol.. Was your hose off the shock at a 45 or straight down?

 

To Clarify issue, here are a couple videos:

Well Accutune wasn't much help, they were friendly but basically said contact Total Chaos since its their spec, and/or figure it out. So I took my old reservoir brackets and cut them and rewelded to put the reservoir up and away. Mounting them low and forward wasn't really an option as they would have been way to exposed..

 

Here was the mockup before welding.. Trimmed the little point off by the cut but thats basically it.
