Extenders will only give the shocks 2" more travel. That might not be enough, meaning you'd need shorter shocks. Did you cut off the bump stop and it's bracket (the "Free Travel Mod")?

Looks good.

Doesn't look that way, I see the brackets in the pics. Aren't the shocks upside down though?

I was too fixated on the short length of shock piston showing that I didn't even notice that on the frame. I bet the FTM and some extenders would fix the rough ride.

Mine are oriented like that and I don't recall seeing any that were the other way. I don't know if it even matters. Maybe it depends on the shock?

Your right. The dust cover is missing, threw me off.
