So I am getting my new Fox shocks in place and was wondering if the bottom out bumper is needed if you have the Jeep bump stops set correctly. This bumper takes about 1/2” of the stated travel so I assume there is still more stroke internally?
I snipped all 4 of mine off when outboarding/rebuilding the mounts.
Easy enough!
Also I have a little issue trying to mount the reservoir. I have a little less than stock Moab back space with 265 tires and the tire rubs the reservoir at full flex and turning the wheel. Any suggestions on how to mount?

There is a clever, little known product that may help.

Correct. That is typically how we do it when building outboard shock mounts.

Great recommendation! I need to modify them a little further since there are some bolt holes I use that it blocks but it gets the job done. I still wish the hose was longer but I can address that when it comes time for a rebuild or having them tuned.

Seeing it, my only concern would be to find out if the tire can contact the hose at full articulation. Our hoses route through the back of the mount. And my tires do contact the upper spring seat. But I am dealing with more shock travel.
