I'm debating weither to trim the factory shock mounts up higher, or to just cut into the floor & run them off the leaf spring plate to the shock hoop. Problem is my shocks only have 10"s of travel. Guess I need to install the front lines, & go flex her out!

yes sir, Polished the skulls, tacked in eye ***** and painted the eyes red, then cleared it.
(if you want to do the same thing go for it!)
I am going to put one of these in that spot on my spare lol

Honestly. I would run them threw the floor off the top of the plates or tops of the tube... But it may not be worth doing until you replace your shocks or swat the axles (since its on your list)

Well if my measurements pan out for these shocks, I'll cut the floor if not I already trimmed the driver side shock tab...

aw... well, as long as you can fit a shock in there that wont limit your travel it doesn't matter where you put it! I just think it "looks" cool coming threw the floor lol
