Finished first stage of build, which consisted of SOA, lockers, rear 8.8 and 6" rear stretch. I think it turned out great thanks to some great fab work from the guys at Carolina Truggies!

I really like it....

but I have never understood why people use such excessive shock angles.. Those shocks appear to the RE Twintube shocks... and by the looks of the angle they're mounted at you may as well not run that at all b/c they're probably not providing any benefits.... If you've already started cutting it up, run the shocks perpendicular to the axle throught the floor..
 
I believe that the shock angle would produce negative affects on a coil sprung jeep, but w/ the leafs, i feel no bounciness or jarring ride and im happy with them. I do understand what your saying and Ill consider running them through the floor when i get new shocks. Thanks for the complements!
