If the length of the hose and orientation of the fittings is similar what I'm familiar with

Might be possible to do with what you've got.

Just an alternative idea.

Thank you for the idea. I will have the reservoirs off when I install the second rubber bushing. I will measure the hose and consider this if it looks do-able. Where did you get the bracket? From Radflo?

Thanks

A heim joint at the top of the shock will stop the twisting and the remotes can stay as is.

All the pictures are going back up.... We changed servers and refreshed our website so the I have to migrate and relink all pictures.

Should be a day or so. I got back in this Thread as I had to pull the Radflo shocks back off. Piggy back style would not work so Radflo is installing longer hoses to remote mount the reservoirs.... More to come

Most pics still not working. Truck looks great! Let's see it with some paint..

that looks great! so is this the 4x8 black grizzly grip kit on their website?

Yes

I found that lowering the bushing to the bottom 1/4 of the resi body eliminated the movement on the FJC rear, but think two would be better, too.

Sure there's a reason for one, but I can't see it.

Considering remotes for the 80 Radflo's for a number of reasons, one being an effort to minimize the shock body from spinning, which can put resi in a contact path.

Was there a reason you went with the piggy backs over remotes?

I switched to remote mount for the reason of spinning and ripping of reservoirs in mojave.... After trying every possible position of mounting the piggy backs there is no way to get the clearance with the 37" tires. I tried it all.

How did you mount them?

How did you mount them?

I mounted the reservoirs like This. And I checked the temp of the reservoir (due to proximity of the down pipe on pas. side) after driving in hot weather and after heat soaking when car is off after a long drive. it never gets to hot to touch... I zip tie 7Eleven burritos to the reservoir and they are perfectly cooked when I get to camp

Yes, the 4x8 from grizzly grip

@California80 What paint/sealer did you use on your inner fender? I'm in the process of butchering up the rear fender so I'll need to recoat this when I'm done

I used a 3M seam sealer... It was a while back so I dont remember if this is the exact one I used but has all the same characteristics and the bed liner has adhered really well.

Product here: http://www.tooltopia.com/3m-automot...scplp6821960&gclid=CJ2jhZLOtsACFcRbfgodyI4AQQ

I went down to the local body shop paint/supply shop and they had what I needed on the shelf. I have never had anything but good results with 3M products

Thanks for the pm messages requesting to get pictures back up... It looks like some are on my old laptop.... I will have this restored by this weekend. I have tons more of the process if anyone wants to see anything specific.
