YJ shock towers and Bilsteins 5150's

[paulhead]

I was thinking getting the MORE or Ford shock towers and I'm seeing that the shock towers might hit the shock resevoirs , any solutions? (pics?)

Do you know if the upper shock mounts can be rotated outwards 90* toward the tires?

They look like they have a locking upper nut to allow this.

I like the Ford tower option although I run the MORE's (got a good deal on them from Chris O.).

I was wondering that my self but I'm running 13.5 wide boggers and my concern is rubbing. So the nut is to loosen the top eye?

From a look at an online pic of a 5150 (not a close-up), it appears that way, but I'm not sure. Perhaps a call to Bilstein would clear that up.

I have the MORE towers and had originally planned for the 5150's. I believe I found that they would fit ok but I couldn't find what I wanted in the way of extension/compression in the Bilstein's so had to go with a different shock. This probably doesn't help much!

Did that (wow, amazing what you can do with a phone :spinhead:) , the eye can be loosened and rotated 180* so , I'll see how it works out. Still think it's gonna' be coming close to the tire. Waiting for the shocks to arrive, we'll see.
