Shock mounting? was created by ne-crock
Which way round should i mount my shock?

Its currently fouling in my spring mount as i try to tighten the shock in to the relocation bracket?

Would there be any issues with mounting the body at the top rather than the bottom?

Yes, serious problems.

the oil of the shock absorbers would stay on the side opposite at the valve and the shock will not work

shocks has a unique operating position

With bottom relocators on they should not foul your springs Mike.

I have heard of them running close or fouling with long springs and standard arms, in this case you can space them a bit. I have very long shocks for my 3" springs so don't want to use relocaters so I have spaced my bottom mounts by about 4mm.
