Flipping the shocks with bent links also doesn't work.

 you have to move the links outward on the axle for clearance.....

Do you have a picture of yours and why they dont work? i have bent links on mine and they clear just fine. maybe you should try moving your links inward and your shock outward on the axle mount. | |

Got my LCA's mounted inboard between the pumpkin and LCA/Shock mounts with minimal interaction between the bent LCA's and shocks.

it helps to create a lower center of gravity, you are bringing all the weight of the shock oil and shock bodys to the lower half of the truck instead of having the weight on the upper half making it harder for your truck to turn over...........

Besides lowering the COG you might even see some better performance out of them. In the 1:1 world if they are not gas charged the bodys NEED to be on the bottom for them to work correctly. Other wise you get bunches of bounce......don't ask how I know  |
