Ford Shock Tower's installed

Got the shock towers on. They totaled out to be 4 1/2 inches taller than the stock mounts. The main reason for going this route, is that I want to stay at 3 inch lift. Dont want to be any taller. The shocks I went with are Rancho RS5000's for a 4 inch lift, but there is no way they are for a 4 inch, way longer than that. Under compression the bumpstop contacts and compresses about a half inch, with approximately 2 1/4 inches of up travel left on the shock. Droop does not drop the shock to bottom, the spring maxes out with approximately 2 inches of shock travel left. Before doing this mod, with the 3 inch lift, i would bottom out the shock for a 2 inch lift, with the proper bumpstop drop. Now, the bump stop is back to stock, and the suspension cycles perfectly fine. Next is to conquer the back, but I have yet decided how I want to do it yet. Here is a few pics, along with the bracket P/N, enjoy. Also, I was not able to tuck near as much tire with the old brackets. I love it!

Shock towers- $15.48
P/N- E5TZ-18183A

I will take some more pics tomorrow after work of the mounts and the shocks
