.... use the clamps(or in your case buy the bling adapters) they come with and mount them to the shock body.
What he said.

Like this:

I have a different shock mount on the top and the resi could not be mounted without plumbing in a 90 deg fitting.

Tony... I really hate you:banghead:



J/k
 
I tried to copy Chris but didnt have the clearance to mount the shock, due to all custom axle end bracketry.

I ended up like this, I'm going to change it later.

It looks like it shouldnt clear, but it just barely does.
 
Cool!

I am anxious to hear if you like the Bilstein more or less than the shocks. You probably have to promote the Bilstein, but PM me the truth ....:gag:

Sweetl Are those JKS upper shock mounts? Also, what valving do you have?
Yep, the standard JKS ones, rotated 90deg, not special ones with the conical washers. I used the Bilstein spacers and a washer on one side. I had them valved at 255/70. I put a couple wraps of self-vulcanizing silicone tape on the hose to prevent the hose from rubbing on the inner fender.

And as far as shipping goes, i placed the order Friday afternoon at 3 , they arrived Wednesday morning , valved and all!!
 
Where did you order them from, Tony?

I'm curious how much lift you have, and what your collapsed and extended shock lengths are front/rear. I plan to move up to a 5" lift here in a bit and I do plan to measure for shocks, I'm just curious what others have come up with, so I'll know if my measurements are reasonable.

Running around 5" of lift...maybe 5.5 in the front

I went with :
Front: 12" Shortbodies, 28" ext, and 16" collapsed, valved 360/80
Rear: 14" regular bodies 35" ext and 21" collapsed, valved at 255/70
