I had initially looked at trying to do mine with stock mounting and geometry, that would be next to impossible. Thinking about getting the CaliFab with my Tax return. Glad to hear you like the kit.I have the califab 3 link, I changed up the lower capture a little, and haven't put the upper in place. The MT or 701 is perfect for a 12", just a little short for 14.
I had the 14's stuffed in there for a bit using just a hoop that connects higher than the califab upper bracket. Their kit is awesome, but to fit without cutting even for a 12" you need to lower the lower mount another inch. After wheeling like that a bit, I decided I didn't want anything hanging any lower than the lower arms. So I just decided to go big and get to cutting.
I'm not tying them together yet, I have left the option to do it later. It's not really necessary for shocks, but would be for Coilovers. I'll post a few update photos tomorrow with the work I got done over the weekend. Shows where I'm going with it a bit better.
It looks like you have changed the shock geometry to a vertical position over the axle, is the oem shock angle not ideal? I wish I knew more about motion ratio.
Love the seam sealer, s*** works good lol.
