I use the Nemesis brackets. Was able to bolt them right up on my Dana 30 and my PR44. Had to drill 2 holes.
Otherwise I think I woulda killed my shocks soon. These are 11 inches of travel before brackets.
I dont have a after shot but it fixed the problem.
But heres what they looked like on my 30. I like how they turn the bushing so it doesnt bind.

I only rub in the front (frame, fenders, and grill). It's not enough of a rub for me to worry about changing anything though. In the rear, I cut a lot of metal out and the tire fits snugly up with 2" of bump. A forklift likely won't get the rear flexed all the way. Either need to lift the opposing front at the same time, or pull a coil and disconnect the rear sway bar (off road, it will fully flex on the right obstacles). Here is a picture of my rear after a lot of metal trimming all the way around (it will stuff more than in the picture, it leaves about 1/2" of space at full stuff). Note that the fenders mount a number of inches higher than stock, so they will never be in the way. <img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=565173"/>
Ok - found a ditch to get crossed up in. Still couldn't get rear stuffed - was hitting rear bumper pretty hard and I can see the where the tire might come in contact with the back pinch seam next to the bumper. Was able to stuff the front a little harder. Does rub on the fender a little. Not terrible though. It does rub the front bumper and grill supports at full turn.

They recommend the OME after researching several shocks. OME seemed to work best with their springs, but said Bilstein was a close second.
