Yes you will need to mount shocks inside. I have the explorer rear end and here is a pic of what I did. I did have to cut out bed sides for narrow width and putting wheel tubs in bed.

This is how close before working on bed sides.

I assume that is the tci system you have? Do their plates and ubolts fit the 3-1/4 axle width? Most importantly do you like the ride?
Thanks

Yes TCI shock bar kit and I am still building and have not driven it yet. I used the original plates and bought the larger ubolts for explorer rear. One of those long projects. Haha
