Default Mounting Adjustable Shock Resevoirs options

I'v got some JK 2.5"-4" TeraFlex Tuned Fox Reservoir w/Adjuster shocks in the mail supposed to be here on Wednesday. Coming direct from TeraFlex and was wondering where everyone is putting their reservoirs.

Some people Just stack them next to each other. (Leaning towards this)

Some people Mount them inside the fender at the top. (Not a fan may Rub)

I'v seen some put into the engine bay for the fronts. (This might be a good option)

My main concern is clearance. I don't want to rub on them or put them in a spot that might get hit by rocks etc....

Anyone have pictures of where they mounted them and why they did it that way?

Rears are connected to each other with the supplied Fox bracket.

No offense, but both of those would be my exact last choice.

I looked in the rear there is not a good option for them so I'm going to double the rear unless someone has a better Idea.

There's no way to attach them to the inside of the frame rails?

Well if the diameter is small enough I might be able to slide them inside that frame crossmember. Or just attach them to that if the hoses are long enough. Inside the crossmember would be the most protected spot IMO.

That's a good idea.

This is what my Jeep Builder, Globex Performance in Toms River, NJ did on my AEV 3.5 inch lift. Safe and out of the way up front
