It looks like your going to be really tight on shock travel.You needed to move the mounts out a lot more!

For those looking at options....
I hacked off the shock mounts off of my old D35. Just a simple hack job and they work great.

No I wasnt able to do that yet, Im going to have it done soon. We ran out had to time and a lot of things had to be skipped so that I was able to drive back to school.

Unless you have the stiffest spring packs in the world, and have no travel/articulation, then yes you do.
