You can do whatever you want. Jeeps are mounted under the frame.



I outboarded mine, you can see the stock mount towards the back and the new mount towards the front.

ProStockers run a slider in back that mounts the spring directly under the frame. Some of 'em actually have greased bearings for it to roll on, makes sense to me.

Doesn't sound that great for a street application. Sounds like it'd be a lot of upkeep and it'd get noisy.

If it is too noisy you need louder mufflers

They're actually very quiet. They hold the grease well, don't need a shot but once a season or so and these boys hit 'em hard.
