Pics as promised. The DS limits how high the upper mount can be located due to the fuel lines; if not for the fuel lines the shock mounts could have been raised approximately another 1.5"-2" making it ideal IMO. However, the lower mount doesn't hang down quite as far as the stock shock perches and are small dimension/obstacle target left to right. And the shocks are fairly well protected where they now reside without the need to use boots. Sam fabbed the lowers out of 1/4" wall 4130 to take some abuse.
