The mount looks really good.

Didn't measure it Augie. The internal spring bump is the only upside bump I am using and with the 12mm body lift no rub anymore. And downside travel leaves about 1/2" or so of spring pre-load. For the Fox shocks this is max without limiting uptravel.
If the fuel lines were relocated a bit we could move the mounts approximately 1.5-2" higher...that would be perfect IMO. But I'm not embarking on that path anytime soon  . I do like having the rear shocks where they are now: Better protection behind the axle housing and much easier to remove for tuning, etc. FWIW: H2 rear shocks are mounted somewhat similarly.
