Here are some more pictures of the shocks mounted and traveling. The limiting straps look too long in these pictures- the only time they actually get utilized is when both wheels are drooped out at the same time- like when catching some air.
The compressed shock uses almost all of its compression travel. With a little more weight or speed it would completely use it. When I set it up, it didn't have the tent or the bad cage on- so I thought I had plenty of compression. once the weight was added it is getting pretty close to running out. I have considered doing something to bring the rear up a little because it does sag with the bed cage and the tent on- that would give me back some more compression. So far it is working well though. Also- the tire does not contact the shock on the top when articulated- it gets close.
I also dig how it looks in the wheel wells at ride height
