I measured for them when I was building the bed some I knew how much room I had to work with. I should have ordered shorter ones than I did bc I could have had a little more up travel. Basically I had to estimate based on what I thought my ride height was going to be.

I have some universal shock hoops that I will be cutting off the front off my truck soon. I can get some measurements for them if you want. I will sell them for $20, cheaper than buying and bending up new ones, just need to make some custom mounts. They are tube style with tabs for the mounting bolts. Basically a tube bent into a 180.

Scott F.:
Will,

here are those shock hoops:

94xjsport94:
That's the same exact thing I'm building now ha.

I'm using little kickers off my unibody so that I can attach the hoop to that. Probably should brace mine somehow... Did you?

I wish I would have known you were going to sell the hoops and week ago, I would have jumped on them!

Scott F.:
Yea definitely brace them, both tubes on the back side somewhere at a 45 deg angle or so. I didn't do that the first time and had one hoop tear off the frame ( welds just tore a round hole out) on helicopter pad in tellico.

Also make sure to plate the attachment point, I didn't do that either.

94xjsport94:
The kickers attach the same way as yours on the unibody, I think my welds can hold it there. I can always add a little bit of a plate there. I was definitely going to work out some sort of a brace on the backside inside the hatch area and plate where it hits the floor.
