Why not get some shocks that will work with a relocated track bar bracket. That's likely the worst way you could mount a shock back there.

If those shocks have a reservoir, it might be the res hitting the bracket. I think Mel posted a picture a while back on Instagram of a bolt on coil over res that made contact with the track bar bracket on UD60s in the rear and even said that the Dynatrac Pro60 could have the same issue. His solution was to put an Evo track bar bracket instead

I had an issue with my rock krawler bracket hitting my bilstiens in the rear of my 08. I know this isn't what he is running but it's not totally unheard of.

Post up a picture of how your shock body/reservoir is in the relation with your track bar bracket. Maybe pictures when flexed also.

Hi,
it's not possible to mount it like the factory shocks. Before the shock get in possition, he get on the braket.
On passenger side there is no problem. I heard that the FOX 2.5 Shocks have the same problem, so my dealer told me that he also installed the Fox like i did the BP51.

Looks like you're going to need a different track bar bracket in order to run those shocks. I would never mount the shock like you show in the first photo. One side of the shock id totally unsupported. That will very likely fail or bend the shock mount. While that may be Ok to drive a short distance in order to get to a dealer or something I would not want to trust that as a final solution.

I agree, you need a different track bar bracket

Are you limited by installation method or manufacturer?
There are bolt-on kits as well as weld on kits available. Some of the bolt-on kits can be welded as well. I would suggest weld-on if possible. There are several manufacturers of these brackets: EVO, Synergy, Rock Krawler, JKS etc.
Quadratec has several on their site you can look at: https://www.quadratec.com/search/rear track bar bracket
Hi,
usually both. For AEV Parts, OME and JKs there are some Documents. Maybe my dealer get a bolt on kit street legal. Do you know one?
This looks like it will fit: https://www.quadratec.com/products/16315_6062_07.htm
Weld on is impossible to get it street legal. Therefore you cant get long arm suspension street legal in Germany.
Thank you!

That one looks kind of blocky and close to what's on there now. I would think something a little more like this one to give you more clearance: https://www.quadratec.com/products/16007_0106_07.htm

Hi,
So?
If the JKS bracket would fit - this would be perfect. JKS is street legal her.
Thank you.
That looks a better but would you be able to take a photo of your jeep from the same area so we can see the whole shock and track bar bracket?
