Suburban AOL/flip'd rear issues

[SBTork]

So, I am in the middle of adding air to my suburban that's been lowered with a DJM flip kit in the rear and am having issues adding the ridetech AOL kit. The drivers side is fine, no issues there. The issue at hand is with the passenger side. The shock comes down from in front of the axle as opposed to coming down from behind the axle on the drivers side. (wish I had my camera that got stolen now) Problem being, I have to run the bag in front of the axle due to the body mounts behind it that are in the way. There is little to no room for the shock around the lower bag bracket. There are a few more clearance issues to but kind of hard to explain with pictures.

Should I see if I can get a camera to take some pictures of the issues?

Has anyone done this before, is it just supposed to be REALLY close on the passenger side? Are the pickup trucks the same? Does anyone have detailed pictures of the passenger side? ANYTHING will help, I am starting to get frustrated.

N2TRUX had the RideTech AOL kit on his 77 once upon a time.

IIRC, the solution was to swap the shock on that side so it faced the rear. The bracket was cut off & reversed on the rear-end & a shock stud was mounted on the frame. There was no 'indentation' in the frame for shock clearance so it was close, but it cleared.

Not sure what RideTech expected end users to do in the staggered shock applications. Check w/N2TRUX or N2Billet for more specific details.

Thanks for the help. It's MUCH appriciated.

I could see the no indentation thing being a minor issue but the major issue is one of the body mounts that's in the way. I could not mount the shock or bag behind the axle because of it. I think I may be able to get it to work but it's going to be damn close.
Someone on here has to have done this type of setup on a suburban before....
