I am getting ready to link the rear of my YJ. I ordered a shock hoop kit from ballistic fab. I want to run 14" coil overs or air shock. Just wanted to see some pics of people's rigs with a hoop going thru the rear fender and how clean they made the cut and the finished product. Any pics or advice would be great.
 
I am not any help with pics, but I am planning on running 14" ORIs and I figure with using RuffStuffs 9.75" shock towers I can fit the 14s without cutting into the tub.
 
Sorry for the large pic, it's not mine. But I was thinking similar to this.

Where you going to mount them on the axle? I was thinking on the top or the front side. Right now I only have about 20" from top of axle housing to the bottom of the inner fender.

On a TJ but could be done the same with a YJ. It's hard to see but he has that sheet-metal edging plate material stuff around the cut.

I am currently dovetailing the YJ and I am raising my wheel wells To make room for the coilovers I may even run a 12" travel coilover in the rear just so I dont have to cut into the tub.
