AOL Question...
 
I've got all my parts for an aol setup... about to mock it all up to drill out the holes... and i notice that the passenger side shock and the bag want to take up the same real estate... doh.. the dirver side is fine.. just the passenger side that is troublesome.

so people who have run this set up what did you do about the pass/ side shock... I was thinking of running a stud off the u bolt plate and running it backwards like the driver side.. pics always help too. Thanks.

That's what I would do.

Your options are to relocate the shock like you mentioned or stagger the air bag mounting locations to work w/the existing shock locations (one side in front of the rear, shock to the rear; other side behind the rear, shock to the front).

did you cut the mount off the axle and reweld it?

need to go look at mine and see if a can turn the shock mount extender around.
