Is the bumpstop over the draglink? Also, you may want to flip your shocks. It will help keep dirt and crap from building up.
 
Most white body shocks are D-valved by running them body up :meh: so be careful running em that way ... Glad you got a winch theyre a great deal.

If you didnt choose the right shocks your two shock have the same or less valving as W's one ... Just like to make sure everyone knows it

Bump stop over the drag link? Not any more, this is a pretty early picture during the build, that has been removed and is going to be relocated a little more forward.

I didn't use the shocks in the picture, got new es 3000's and painted them. So I CAN run these shocks upside down??? The winch, I'm glad I bought it too, it's kinda compact, I like that. I'll have to tell you the story about me buying it when we catch up later...haven't thrown a football in 30+ years....but it was worth an additional 5% over the LSLC discount!!! (15% total)

Nope unless you want less shock :) about 50% less and most shocks are 25/75 or 40/60 valve %... So on top of devalving em your on the wrong side of the stroke :p

As long as you told em your running them body up I'm sure your fine. Most people don't ask or tell till they want to know why thier new shocks are so soft... I can get you shocks that can be run body up too ... My point is MOST are not made to be run that way and I know W's are not..I wanted to warn him.

Is there a marker on the side so someone can tell the orientation? This may explain something on my 40. Thanks for hip'n us to it.
 
I wish only clue on most is the writing is upside down and even then not always. Pm sizes if you need some
