    Well at least in the rear. Might think about the 12" icons for the rear. We'll see. Would like to see if I can get more flex outta the rear.

    You know what they may be 11". I have the rear shocks meant for 0-2.5" of lift and they have ones for 3.5" of lift.

    But those go in the stock location don't they? I know Mademan had extended travel icons that IIRC were 11" of travel, that was before he did the shock relocation.

    IT HAPPENED. Can't thank Mule Expedition Outfitters enough, Jon figured it out and the ride is so much better!!

    Got the super bumps welded on too

    Waiting on the mounts from RuffStuff that will be here next week, for now its Zipties :D

    Only complaints I have is that Jerry should have provided longer bolts for the lower shock mounts, they are so short that the lock nut is worthless since the bolt isn't even long enough to go through the nut.. Plus the kit was complete, it was missing a backing plate for the upper shock mount that we had to fab up and weld in yesterday. That and would have been nice if Jerry called back but we figured it out and got it squared away!

    Yes I found a pic before it was installed! So this is what the shock relocation bracket looked like when I received it, there is supposed to be another plate welded between the back wall of the bracket to bolt the shock to. This took an hour and a half to fab and weld in costing my labor time.. Ill be calling Jerry today to work something out. Just wanted to post this up in case anyone else following gets a shock relocation from him that they make sure that they have this piece.

    I know its hard to tell but that plate that is bolted against the shock is what im talking about
