when u get the rear ubolt flip kit that brings up the need for shock mounts on the axle. and i am using 14" travel shocks and with the same angles u are (were) using. i welded to bolts right next to each other on a crossmember i put in also. my shocks are completely triangulated and they work great that way i only use about 4 "s of drop and 3" of compression so i have no chances of bottoming out. and my truck is a DD and they were great on the road
