for guys running any type of remote resivoir shock, what do your lower mounts look like?

did you guys weld some tabs to the axle tube or to the LCA or the control arm mounting bracket or what.

any help is appreciated

What does being remote reservoir have to do with the lower mount?

There are threads regarding custom mounts.
See if one of those can answer your question.

i have 2.0x10.5" fox's and the lower eye on the shock is a uniball
the uniball wont work with BPE's or with the stock shock mount at all, so where should i weld tabs (axle tube, LCA bracket, etc.) to mount the shock?

Gotcha....

Weld them right onto the LCA axle mount right where the old shocks mount.

No pics, but I suggest you reinforce the mount by welding down some 1/8" or 3/16" flat to strengthen the area that you're going to weld the tabs onto.
