cool setup, always like the look of the upside down V shock setups. i see you have your proportioning valve load sensor shaft cut off, how do you brakes work with that??

there is lots of stuff about suspension.
i like the shock hoops in the fenderwell, shocks between the frame and tire, without invading the bed.

i'm going to zip tie the rod in the up position for best rear braking. always done it and has been good for me. simple and functional.

You might as well just remove the LSPV and return line and run a single line to the rear brakes, the zip tie sounds janky. As for hoops and shocks, go as big and as long as you can. It's a bummer to try and set em up so they just barely miss bottoming or topping out. Here are some easy front hoops I bent up. 1.75", 5.5" CLR die. I could easily mount some coil over shocks to these if I ever go links.
As for the rear, whatever you do, do NOT go the A-frame route. The dampers need to be as close to inline with the axle movement path as possible. Try and mimick the stock rear location, just extend the mounts.

thanks for the info, i was planning on probably going the same route as you on the front setup, and never considered that A-frame setup in the rear

i really like your rear setup but with the front reservoirs mounted right over the engine wouldnt that make them really hot and thats what you don't want....????

they have been like that for over 3 years now with many desert trips in summer temps and i havent had a single issue with the heat. they do get hot, but not over heating hot. i have though about moving them down to the shock hoops but just havent had a reason to yet.
