There's about +5" difference between the stock shock location and mounted to the top of the U-Bolt flip plate.
They work.
Yes, the droop is ridiculous.
I'll see if I can lift the back end high enough and snap some pics.

Do you have them mounted strait up and down or angled in towards center? I would like to see your pics.

I like the sky off road kit. Because of the angle would you need to get long shocks? I have 10" now.

The rear hoop for upper shock mounts? I like that kit as well, but It would certianly require longer shocks.

Ya this one http://www.sky-manufacturing.com/new...uct.php?id=131

You don't think 14" would be required do you? I have maybe 3-4 in suspension.

The best way to determine what lenght of shock you need is to jack up one side untill the spring are totally flexed out and measure. You shock should not be the limiting factor in either compression or extension.

^^^ been thinking about the same thing. I was just going to take a piece of 2" square tube and put a few nuts on it to give me some different options. And now looking at the hoop design i don't see why i couldn't just slice and weld a square tube hoop, i figure if i have to weld in a shock hoop anyhow, why not put a few more options in...just thinking outloud.
