Hit list on the wall

Looks awesome. Just curious why you decided on that location for the reservoirs?  I can see it getting damaged if another truck lands on you or you get in a rollover.   I am not second guessing you, just want to learn.   Would the red circle in the attached pic be a better location to protect the reservoirs?

 (I know nothing about reservoirs, no idea if angles have to matter here)

Angles don’t matter. Air flow is good.

i guess i hadn't really thought of a truck landing on me haha


ill be honest they just kinda got clamped there because the fox factory series letters were right side up haha

i had them flipped down when just the stud was welded on, but then they got flipped up after the outside bracker got made

I think I heard that TJ springs are gonna be the hot ticket in the front of these to get a little more rate if needed. Not sure what you've got in there for your extra height.

leaving ranger coils as is for now.  a lot of weight is removed from the truck, that should be good for at least an inch of ride.


changing coils is a massive amount of work, probably require hardware / control arm / trailing arm replacement lol
