Ok, so I'm just starting to get a little into this highspeed stuff with my XJ. I picked up a set of 10" Fox 2.0 resi and mounted them up with JKS upper and lower shock adapters. The problem is, I want to get more uptravel out of them. Im running about 5" of lift in the front and want to get an extra inch to inch and a half of uptravel. Everytime i try and do something serious I bottom out. I have prothanes in there now to try and soften the blow, but its not enough due to my lack of uptravel. I can always throw a hockey puck under the prothane to raise it up a bit just for a temporary fix I cant afford air bumps yet, so they are temporary. the upper bump tower is just a plate so it doesnt destroy the prothane.
Here is a crappy cell phone pic cause thats all I have right now.
now, i was contemplating doing something like this:

and using these mounts cause i already have a set laying around. they are flat tho and not curved for an axle tube.

I have Currie LCA mounts so I dont think strength is an issue. However, these shocks are heim style. So what and I supposed to put in between the shock and the mount? the JKS upper and lower mounts used a cone shaped piece that pressed against the heim. does anyone sell just this piece?
any other options out there besides making some sort of upper shock hoop and this idea?
Thanks guys :cheers:
