Thank you 
I've only installed Fox shocks on the front axle. Still the old Bilsteins in the rear axle.
Wasn't sure where to install the limit straps, and still not sure this is the best place to put them, but had to do something, also with limited space and such

Possibly I'd have gone from the rear web of the spring tower and adapted somehow to the lower shock eye bracket?
Or a strap around the axle tube to the chassis.....possibly I'd get carried away?

There are of course other ways of doing this.. but with limited space, this was the best I could do 
Nothing wrong with the Bilstein shocks. But the Fox shocks are built to my specifications and also a bit longer, to match the springs.
Still keeping the Bilsteins as spare shocks.

Which bilsteins did you get and for how much lift? Wondering about valving for ride feel depending on the model you got.
