Ok, I was just curious because they are not positioned the normal way, and nice and stiff? Why would you want stiff shocks? My Doetsch tech shocks are super soft. That's how they should be.

My old jeep with 33's, but had a good pic of the shocks, this is how they are normally positioned, unless they are like bilsteins, but I suppose some manufacturers have a suggested mounting orientation.

they are mounted with a new shock tab welded over the old location. yours look upside down to me lol. but I think they can go on either way. they are stiff so I don't have to run sway bars. I prefer it this way

"I leak oil" that jeep is so ****ing badass. I am definately Jealous haha, I was actually just showing the wife your jeep.

What longarm setup is that? I really dont care for the Teraflex setup, it's the old skool one that uses stock uppers, but I have aftermarket uppers that are customized with drop boxes. The guy that built my jeep actually helped r&d the teraflex stuff way back when.

Ok, I will look into the IRO long arm setup. I am thinking of doing radius arms.

Ya, mine is a POS haha. But it's not my daily, just a toy, my daily is a 2003 F-150 supercrew.

I look at Jeeps as wheelin rigs and thats it haha.

Mine had 6.5" lift with 2" spacers up front. This is a pic AFTER I lowered it haha.
