Toddz,
You got pics to post of it?

Mad: Per your request, I've attached some photos. I had to clearance the backside of the brackets to clear the Fox shocks. Smaller diameter units wouldn't require that mod to be done, imo. I did use low profile locknuts and trimmed bolts due to clearances.

Thats the one thing I like about the duffs stage II hoops is that with a 2" BL they mount almost against the top of the inner fender.

Thanks for the post and pics Todd. What is your opinion on having a 12" short body Fox made....10" body, 12" shaft? I'm definitely not big on the idea of the F250 mount on only 1/2 the frame.

Then add on to them or make some longer copies; they are simply 1/8" stamped steel.

I think it's a definite possibility but I've never heard of it being done. I was investigating to see if I could find anyone still selling or making Brett Kinch's old F-250 style mounts that I think were longer (and certainly beefier) than the F250 mounts. Mike Bowlin pointed me to Moab 4x4 Outpost where a guy named Andy (who used to make Brett's stuff and AOR's pieces) now works. He has a similar bracket but it also wasn't tall enough for what I need.

I had my brackets welded on this morning.
