@ rocmar, maybe this for your rock problems, paint can holder and TP rack. LOL. Glad you got it fixed and not hurt.

After I moved the stock front shocks to the rear , I gained 1/2" of ground clearance and 3/4" of downward travel. After doing this , I was a little concerned about over exstending my axles and having one of them pop out.

Today I installed some limit straps to make sure the axles don't exstend (13 1/2" eyelet to eyelet) any more than they did when I had the stock rear shocks on the back.

Were you able to just find some straps or were those custom made? They claim the WE shocks give you an extra inch of travel, would there be the possibility of the same thing happening with those?

No they aren't custom made , I just ordered a set that had 16" length ,eyelet to eyelet.

As long as the W.E. shocks don't exstend more than 13 1/2" eyelet to eyelet, they should be fine. W.E. could have gotten the extra 1.00" of travel in the upward/compressed direction. Someone with the W.E. shocks could probably answer that.

I am probably being overly concerned , anyone who is using the 2.00" bracket lifts are over exstending there shocks and don't seem to have any problems.

Installed graphics from creative utv, turned out nice. I asked for the front Honda letters even though they aren't really offered, they fit right but were a tedious pita to put on. The front letters are inset and that makes it difficult to apply a decal on, I knew it was going to suck going in but I wanted them anyway. Ended up with a small wrinkle in almost all of them but I'm happy with them. Side ones were easy breezy and they threw in the one I put on the back of the roof. Thanks @jrplaza2008 .
Also installed the RotoPax water can and moved the gas can. It looks like they stick out from the sides in the pic but they don't, slightly in so nothing will catch. Painted the caps so as not to confuse which is which. Every side got a little love today. Windshield's been on a couple weeks.
