I am planning on putting my rear shocks through the floor, I saw these and was wondering if anyone is using them

I like them because you don't end up with a hole in the floor, that you need to cover up with a boot.

It does not say if you can keep your backseat, which is important to me, but I want to hear if anyone has any experience with this produce

Looks nice but for that, damn, you could buy a grinder and a cheap welder and make them yourself.

350$ seems totally insane.

Shouldn't rear towers be braced diagonally to the other frame rail rather than the other tower to form two triangles?

I would worry about the strength of that setup. I don't see any bracing to the Pseudo-fram. The only way I have made it work by running shocks into the cab is to plate the frame and make a small bed cage. I run a neoprene seal around my 2.5x16 kings and i have no leaks and the seals are going on 10 years now. Pm me I'll email you pics.
