i saw that in your pic. I dont need it though as thats the whole spot ill be cutting out. if you look in my pic you can see where it is empty and probably in my way.
Were you actually fully comrpessing your shock where you neeed that bracket?
Also there six pack doesnt help the down travel much in the rear as they raise the bottom shock mount. Although thats a nice feature to have. It also helps make up for there weird shock lengths.
The more i look at my pic though it might clear. i need to bouce it hard in the rear on a whoop and make sure i hit my bumpstops to check it. Im going to wait till i build the track bar to test it all at ionce though...

Yeah that is true. I think they designed it that way so you would buy their 6 pack shocks but they are a little too pricey for me. I installed the Synergy Long Travel Upper shock mount on mine to gain some up travel back. As you can see in the pic above. Here's a link to the kit. http://www.polyperformance.com/shop/...t-p-29226.html

You will also need to get the rear Sway bar relocation kit if you went that route. http://www.polyperformance.com/shop/...t-p-29981.html

Those are Metal Cloaks 3.5 Dual rate Coilsprings without retainers. I've had the kit for over a year now & with my current setup I'm able to compress the shocks without bottoming them out. I had a 3inch bump in the rear in that one pic but I've moved to a 2 inch with no problems.

Post-lift stance. The 2.5" GCL gave me 3.25" in the front and 3.5" in the back. The 35x12.5x17 KM2s added an additional 1.25" in the front and .75" in the rear because of the heavier spare. Total lift combined is 4.5 front and 4.25 rear.
