I'll keep you posted. I'm planning on swinging by Home Depot after work.

My stock shocks just sit inside the engine bay. When I open the hood I use it as a stick. Haha. Same way that David does it.

There are some really stubby ones you can get, but don't know about locally.
If they're inside the barrel and won't clear the caliper, the angled ones might work better.

Yeah, the damn valve hole is on the inner barrel causing clearance issue. It's hitting the caliper. I found some on summit racing that seems to work well except I want them done now lol. Guess I will have to order them and get it installed whenever it gets here. I might need to run tpms straps now, I doubt the bracket iforged sells would work because the sensor won't sit flushed on the barrel.

Haha, I've been through that.
Makes the face cleaner, but it's a pain to check pressure and fill tires.
