Thanks for the kind words guys. We have had an issue mounting the reservoirs the way I show in the pictures. The 35s end up rubbing the hoses so we are in the process of changing the way the reservoir mounts.
We also got the truck wrapped yesterday. Some big changes coming in the later part of next week. Thanks for following along.
I’m running the reservoirs on the frame with 305/60/18’s without any rub issues.

Yeah, I have been in touch with Fox about this issue and haven't exactly come to a conclusion. They sent me these pictures of the proper way to mount the reservoirs (which makes sense I was just wanting to keep them away from the front of the vehicle. They are very exposed there):
The issue is the position for the reservoir mount on my truck looks slightly different (i.e. no tab and threaded hole as shown in their image):

I thought the same. Honestly though, I’ve had them on for a while and ride some pretty rough roads and haven’t had any issues.
Do you have a particular scenario you’re worried about? I’ll do some checking testing if it helps.
I wouldn't say a particular scenario but I can imagine once we replace the front bumper it could possibly be even more exposed. I will be moving it to the frame mount tomorrow since that really seems like the best/only option.

Yeah I'm not putting mine there. Hopefully I have enough lift to mount them right above the tower.
Some updates on the build. We got the truck wrapped and installed a Leitner Designs Active Cargo System with numerous accessories including gear pods and Rotopax. We also installed a DECKED storage system.

The Decked system has always intrigued me. For what I need it didn't fit the bill though. A hard tri-fold was the route for me. Truck looks great! Where'd you end up mounting the reservoirs?
Wow, awesome truck! I love the wheels. I would have never opted for that color on my own, but looking at them on the truck they look incredible. Sweet set up.
