What front shock mounts are you using on the axle side? That looks like a solution for mine.

Also looking at your rear shock towers. Do you think that will be enough room for shock movement? Mine move a lot and I have twice the cut out size. Then again, I'm manipulating rocks more. I'd imagine a more prerunner approach will call for more wide open terrain than just rocks. Just a thought I had. Looks awesome nonetheless!

Thanks Kevin! Actually my front lower shock mounts are just fabbed up by me, the location is based off of cycling the full travel with a 10" shock. I wish I would have bought 12's now because I have more room for travel.

As for the rear shock mount clearance I have a 3x4 hole cut in the floor with 2" shocks and I don't do any major crawling so I should be okay but I will clearance as necessary!!

Yeah I have two 10" travel shock that I might be able to use if my buddy doesn't end up using them. I've been looking for a way to utilize them. I'm already building an axle on the side at the moment and figure now would be a good time to try and make something like that work.

Cool beans. The wise old owl that helped me build my cage told me that its very important that they have enough space for movement. Mine are angled 80 degrees forward and inward, so it poses more of an issue with me and my setup. Figured I'd say something just in case.

I'm a big fan of the jeep speed thing. I'll be keeping an eye on yours.
