    With the help of @slixxster I was able to conjure up a mounting solution for the remote reservoirs on my Dobinson MRA rear shocks. Could I get some verification from maybe the likes of @crikeymike or someone else that has installed these? I feel like the single mounting point for the reservoir bracket might not be optimal. See attached photos below.

    FedEx decided to repack my shocks after giving them some “pre-character marks” on the trip here, so any sort of mounting instructions were disappeared. Also, I didn’t get a cool sticker or sticker pack. Hint hint
    Mike.. Much sadness ensued…

    And as a side note, I’m surprised by how much my Icon 3 leaf kit has flattened out already. They are engaging the overload already. Pretty disappointed to be honest. I’ll air up the bags a little bit while I contemplate ponying up for a new leaf pack.

    Looks good!! It's just like the Tacoma really. Yeah, a single mounting point doesn't seem like enough, but it is. That's all that's needed to hold it in place.

    The stickers actually come on the shocks. LOL. Time to update the descriptions.

    Looks good @blenton. Lol wait till you install the front and mount them. You’ll have to play with the angle. I had some screw in river nuts and that’s what I used for mounting rear and front reservoir. The front bolt and nut for the front reservoir were a pain and looks ugly. See my photos. Which I replaced with screw rivets

    Oh, I can’t hardly wait for the fronts! I’m still waiting… patiently… more or less… *cough* @crikeymike *cough cough* Still waiting… for the boat to show up with some new front coilovers for me to order…

    Just make sure these ones come with some sweet stickers for my toolbox - ER, my kids… ya hear? Can’t tell me I’m getting a sticker pack then trix me like that… It’s like telling the dog it’s time for a walk, opening the door, then shutting it on them after they’ve run out outside. Technically, they walked somewhere… But the disappointment is REAL. haha.
