Question for Rob@NoLimit
Actually anyone can answer this, but this is in referral to Rob's shock mounts.
Would it be beneficial to mount a set of coil overs in the same position as these shock relocators from No Limit? Now, I know they would need to be built a little better with captured bolt positions for added strength of the spring and weight, so my main question is about the position.

We are actually making an option. It will be available to be used with our trailing arms, and we will also be making one to work on a factory trailing arm. To answer your question 68Stepbed this set up will work nice. You may want to set the coil-over more upright than the shock in the pic. Nate

They can tilt inward some.

Re: Question for Rob@NoLimit
Here's how I did my C/O setup with trailing arms. I used standard C/O weld-on tabs/brackets by competition engineering. I have allowed for the maximum wheel space as well as the optimal spring position.

Re: Question for Rob@NoLimit
The current mount in single sheer is not up to the task. We used to make a set of mounts for coil-overs similar to these. They worked great but I think we were way ahead of the market. Again, the trick here is shock length. A short shock will drop the truck, but have less travel and require a stiffer spring. = bad ride. A longer shock, say 5" or 6" stroke will offer more travel, and allow for a softer spring rate = good ride, but, this won't drop the truck as much, so you need to add in a 2" block. Or, if you are raising the bed floor you can raise the upper coil over mount.
BTW, do yourselves a favor. Stop with the step notching. If your going to raise up part of the rail for axle clearance, then man up and raise the rail. This way you have more room for suspension, exhaust, fuel tanks, battery...... just my $.02
