For those of you running external reservoir shocks on your 200, King, FOX, BP-51's, Dobinsons MRR, etc., where did you end up mounting the reservoirs in order to keep them out of the range of motion of the tire yet still accessible to easily adjust the clickers? Did you have to fab/create your own brackets or did you get by with what was provided with the kit? Please post pics as well.

The BP-51's come with all the brackets and good instructions to mount them. I did have to trim the inner plastic liners in the front, very easy.
The adjustments are on the shock body, not the reservoir with them. This requires lifting the truck and removing the wheel, at least in the front. You might be able to adjust the rears with it on the ground, I've never tried it.

King has the best 200 mounting bracket solution IMO

My front brackets did hit the power steering line coming off the pump and require tweaking. Also didn’t need to cut the plastic liners nearly as much as they instructed.
But I agree they have a great location to keep them out of the way.
Hmm... OK, thanks. Mine are pretty much dialed in now, but I'll definitely try that next time I want to change them. I just crawled under and looked, I assume you came in from the front?
