Use thicker spacers on either side of the shock eye bolt holes.  That will get the brackets outside of the shock body.

Well, I got the shock mount installed, still need a bunch of gusseting, but I think this is the basic design, just need to copy it over to the other side now. Should be pretty good design, I will do a bar across to the other side and then one on each side going down to the torsion tube, should be pretty good. MAN, I forgot how much of a BITCH it is welding inside a cab!! OY.!

Got a bit more done tonight, didn't want to work too late since I'm going to the SAND SPORT SHOW tomorrow!! Its cool though, it has a bit more downtravel than the CV's can take right now and a bit more up travel than the tires allow before bottoming out and I still have 18"!!

Build looks really nice. I am curious. Where are you going to mount radiator? I mounted mine above motor at an angle. I built kind of a whale tail around it. I haven't run the car so I don't know if it will work. Kennedy recommends in front, but then you have tubing thru cockpit. I do have one bit of advice, build mounts where you can use larger radiator if needed. Bajas are nice when it rains. Tim

Yeah, that's where I had planned it either flat or tilted up, both with the fans on top as pushers..I like the spoiler idea, but not too sure how it would look...

It kind of looks like a 935 humped a beetle.
