A simple 1/2in. spacer from the hardware store at the top and bottom shock mount worked for me, no more clearance issues and performs perfectly.

that's annoying. did you move the upper shocks all the way out on the mounting points. My rear alloy leaf spring helpers were chewing up my rear shocks and boots and they were binding so i ditched 'em. you might wanna try to attack your rear u bolt bracket with a dremel tool and try to get some clearence between your shocks and the u-bolt bracket or just take em off. I just took my leaf helpers and it works better with out them.

Sure, it took a little bit of hacking but it mounted well. To keep the bumper from flexing so much you need the RC4WD, metal, #3 bumper mount, the metal, RC4WD universal bumper mounts ( the part that looks like a body mount stick with adjusting holes), and the metal, SCX10 front bumper mount, which I'm still waiting on. There other ways to mount it, but this is the one I found that gave literally no flex from the bumper, provided I get the metal SCX10 mount and I had these things readily avail. to me.
