Alright, whos got em, what did you do to make them fit? did you cut the bottom 4" off em and then slap em on?
How did you attach em? Sleeved bolts? weld to the frame?
Pictures are always appreciated!

I got 'em. Ain't installed 'em yet. Thinkin' I might cut some off the bottom. Most likely will weld to the frame.

Welded to the frame..
I run 9012's with a Breeze 4.5" SPOA, TT YJ kit and the OE ford towers $11.20 e at the local dealer. Moved them up as far as I could, little BFH on teh inner fender, I get about 5" uptravel on the shock, which is enough to invert the spring as much as you should.

So you didnt cut any of the bottom off? do you rub on the shock at all at full lock/stuff? what size tire/wheel?

The towers are full length as I got them from Ford. The bottom of the towers are about an inch up from the bottom edge of the frame rail. I did BFH the inner fender some to clear. with a 1" body lift you won't need a BFH. My lower shock mounts are on the top side of the axle almost to the end of the axle tubes. 33x10.50 BFG's on a 15x8" rim with about 3.5" backspacing, it will rub the shock on full stuff if the other side droops far enough. With a 2" backspace wheel this will probably go away.

Kewl man thanks I had heard allot of people say that I needed to cut off the bottom or risk serious rubbing.. glad to know thats not the case........ as I have stock rims and 30x9.5 tires and my shock mounts are the old spring plates fliped over:D
