    The Scout will be going to a shop next week to get the transmission swapped. It will be put on a vehicle lift. So i just needed to get the limit straps on quick so the axles can hang

    Im hoping to be able to shorten the spacers. It will depend on where the preload adjusters end up after i get coils. At that point i will weld the spacer to the tab and add a gusset. Hopefully that will be enough to keep the bolts straight

    True But the shifter will sit at the back left corner and my hand is always on that since thats where the rear steer controls are. Its a little low and to far forward to rest arms on...i think

    Yes Pics dont show it well but the tabs were hitting the shock only when on a full angle. With the clearancing the bottom of the shock hits before the sharp parts on the top. Plenty of misalignment now

    You may also recall i was going to leave the upper shock mounts alone on the front. The tires seemed to clear the shocks fine when i lifted up the rear axle. But i lifted the Scout by the slider the last time i had it out and for whatever reason the tire got into the shock. Weird. So i...
