looks good.why are your rear shocks mounted upside down? you might want to think about flipping them especially if you use your truck as a prerunner, the whole point is to keep the oil at the seals to prevent overheating of the seals which will expand and fail over time...

Don't need covers if they're not facing forward. Easy flip up of the whole bar and you're ready to go.

exactly. i have them covered so their's no way of gettin them dirty while day-driving. i have em tilted cause they are not in use and it also gives me aero dynamics on the highway lol. My rear shocks are upside down because of a few reasons. i wanted to keep as much dirt out from going into the shock in any way. Having them the other way would just give me more chance of that since im not using the boot. Also, i think it looks cooler from the rear of the truck. Besides, these are not emulsion shocks. Please, correct me if im wrong, but they can be run at any angle i believe. This is how running a reverse-cantilever setup can work efficiently on racing suspensions. thanks for the comments guys!
