Rear Shock Hoop question

I am pondering making a set of rear shock hoops to get my rear shocks perpendicular with the axle and get the axle shock mounts out of the way of trail debris. So I just was snooping around my jeep and saw that the frame is not flush to the tub edge so i have to make a mount that clears the tub. Since i have waggie axles i have a bit more play, but i am just not sure how much arv the axle and tire has to rub on the shock body? I am guessing that i will have to jack the one corner up and see what my travel is, but i am curious to how much does an axle arc, is it something noticable like 3-4 inches or something smaller? I am probably very vague on this, but just curious. I do not want to notch the tub for the shocks, i want to keep it stock.

 

yeah i want it up in the fenders. Worst thing is i have to wait till i get my boggers, cause i know that is the tire i want to run and they are much wider than what i am running now.

 

I found a guy in my club with a set of the boggers i want and am trying to get a price for him, possibly trade my LTBs He is trying to sell the jeep so i am trying to get the tires. Will have to give him a call over the weekend. Unfortunately i will have to get a new set of rims to go with the tires, since the 7 inch wide rims i hav really wont work well with 14.50 wide boggers

 

Thanks Tumlbe! I have seen the F250, i do think they are the same as the waggie front extended hoop. I think for these i really want to make them. I already have a hoop set in the front, and it would match with the tubing set in the rear. Guess i am getting to be a softy that i want things to "match" on the jeep I tried to use teh waggie montus for the front of my jeep, but they were surprising not long enough for the jeep. A friend of mine whipped up a set of tube ones real quick

 

yeah that is what i am stuck with is are my axles "wide enough" for the rear hoops. i know the waggie axles are wider, but are they wid eenoguh
