Are you doing an AOL for capacity or are you removing leafs in combo w/the AOL to just get it lower?

I,m trying to do the ntrux setup,I,ve notched the frame and am trying to see where i,m going to sit with removing some leafs and a block if needed,but I see the shocks are staggered and the photo of nutrux frame there is only a pic with only 1 shock installed,not done yet of course,so I,m trying to see where to locate other shock

They installed the pass side as a mirror image of the drivers. They cut the lower mount off the front of the axle tube & moved it to the rear. The upper mount is the stud on the frame. IIRC, they 'scalloped' the frame just like the drivers side, but you might be able to space the shock just right to avoid having to do that. N2TRUXs' 77 does have lowering blocks as well.

I've seen shock plates like that for cars but no trucks. Call AirRide & see what they suggest. Perhaps they've got a solution that doesn't require welding a new bracket.
