Default Teraflex Remote Shock Reservoir Mounting Bracket HELP!

| TeraFlex Suspensions

This^^

Anyone ever install one of these before? I'm trying to get it done this weekend but the thing didn't come with any directions. When it comes to mounting something on my frame I want some guidance. Its hard to even get a great picture of these things actually mounted on a rig too which would help me with some of my questions in regards to where to mount exactly. Thanks to anyone in advance that can provide some help!

It looks like they drilled two holes just in front of the bigger hole on the frame. Maybe a small pilot and drive them home. You might be able to put somewhere besides the frame as long as there out of the way. Google reservoir shocks jk and you should be able to find some options.

Actually after a search I think there's better options out there than drilling into the frame.

Even some diy spacer to keep the shock bodies separated and two clamps or even heavy duty zip ties

The Shocks actually come with a professional FOX Shocks spacer so they can both be clamped together but I have heard some bad stories about the reservoirs being hit by the tire and causing damage and so forth. Mounting the reservoir shock out of the way seems to be the way to go. I do appreciate your response tho!

Seems to be self tapping screws that it comes with. Just use a hammer and a center punch to start things off or just drill a very tiny hole with drill bit and let the self tapping screw do the rest of the work.

Yeah that's what I was thinking but where exactly the best place to mount it on the frame is still up in the air. I just wish I could find a picture of it mounted on a rig so I could see how they did it.
