Very glad you're happy with the shocks. It makes all the work worth it.

Meanwhile, I am seeing something different in the pictures. Feel free to correct me and tell me if I need glasses. Plus, I'm making my observation based on the wheeling-type that I do. Rocks, rocks, AZ rocks. Not sure about your use.

Stock shock mounts: Are tucked way over by the tire making them difficult to hang on on the rocks. The tire is your main protection as it drives over the rock. Or, you clear the rock between the tire/shock mount and the diff below the axle.

Fox shock mounts: Are also low though they are sticking out in the area that need to clear rocks. I see me getting hung up on these often (like I do my 6" lift Slee front arms on my LX450 that are also in the way).

OK....whatcha think?
