i have davez shock hoop and i mounted my lower shock mounts just like in your picture except on the front on the axle. because i didnt want to move the hoop already welded in.mounting them on top will limit your travel in some cases, especially if the rig turns out low, i was only able to fit 10s on top of the axle, moved the mounts like that and now i can run 12s
If you'll be carrying anything more than just a spare in the rear you'll probably be fine with that angle.
Do you have any issues with them catching on anything or taking extra damage? To me mounting them on the back side of the axle housing seems like it would put them out of harms way for most things. I also currently have 12 inch shocks to go in the rear so the extra room is a big plus.
I just ordered those side axle shock mounts from ruffstuff yesterday. I lowered my rear and my shocks were bottoming out. Perfect solution. Everyone worries about hitting them on rocks. I usually don't hammer down in reverse while in a rock garden, but if I do Its not hard to take the shock off and still get home. No big deal really.
this is such a clean build! wheres cant wait to see the cab and bed dropped back on it alloh and why 35s on 17s? why not 35" mtrs on 15? or 37s on 17s?
Other issues seem to be a lack of 37" tires for 15" rims but a lot of options for 17" rims...
I had clearance problems with my 15's when I did the fror brake kit on front of mine. I would get 17's most manufactures don't make that many sizes in 15's anymore. Unless you stick with 35's or get swampers
