Wasn't sure if I was going to actually pull this off but I managed to stuff these under the rear and not gain any extra height. They are 17" travel, 25" collapsed and 42" extended this was only possible on full width's. Ran into binding problems with the Rancho's with 15" of travel on stock width axles. Gussets were not added to give it wings, they stuck up there a ways and with no cross bracing I saw a grim future without them.   |

;D gotcha, you guys sure suckers for a guy makin his little ole jeep longer, if I'm gonna stretch this thing its gonna be to hold a hot tub and anyone brave enough to do crazy french in it, and not the bunny trail.
Rancho's look like pretzels now, last run grabbed sucked a rock in and those little 1/2" shafts just couldn't take, so bent coil-over # 3 for me and Rue did the other one in enough it didn't want to hold oil after 1 run. Not sure what they're worth in weight but 50 bucks would take all 4 right now. lol
Mounting the Reservoirs worked out great, right where the other ones were...didn't check for clearance, decided to call it finished and find out latter. lol
