well here is one pic from this weekend , Natalie is cleaning up the other ones checking clearance and what needs to be changed , everything worked pretty much flawlessly only changes are charge the coilovers to 200lbs since we only had a pre-set regulator , move the coilovers up about 2" in the back and adjust the rear uppers one hole up  |

well the rear coilovers were too far inboard which was cause the rear to completely flex when the front was on a 3 ft rock and the front wasnt doing much of anything ill get some better pics later today    |

Very nice Arron! That is really the best way to mount the coilovers. How far out are you moving the axle side mounts out? I think if you move them out enough, like about 5", that should keep the tires from rubbing at full stuff. Did you drop down the upper mounts a little?

i havent welded the lower shock tabs on yet but im trying to keep the coilovers at atleast a 75 degree angle no less but i think when i measured last its about 6-7 inches away from the axle flange i had already moved the lowers up from when we set them and it worked perfect , i also moved the axle foward about 2" oh ps its Aaron  you just doubled the wrong letter  |

Doh!
I would shorten the lower shock tabs back down to keep the same tire to fender clearance. I calculate you'll loose about 2" articulation if you outboarded the mounts 5" on each side.

2" up travel or down travel? i have them setup for 5.5 up and 8.5 down , the lower mounts are pretty much lined up with the front lower mounts if your looking from the back of the truck to the front
i have the same amount of clearance between the fenders front and rear and i just barely touch on the front with 5.5 up 8.5 down
overall the lowers were outboard 7-1/2" from where the were and the uppers about 4"
