Archive introduced the original 2.5" kit to mount 2.5" X 12" to 2.5" X 14" travel shocks without cutting the bed 8 years ago!
This "under bed" kit allows bolting to bed for less frame stress than other kits, which also allows a crossbar to be fit to lock out the frame rails from rotating inward.
Laser cut from 3/16" HSLA 50,000 psi steel (30% stronger), CNC brake-formed towers for toughness. Towers are blasted primed and powder coated black for top corrosion resistance in wintery conditions. Axle tabs (included) are 1/4" HSLA for severe use and rock crawling.

Fittings/Spacers
Standard rod-end shocks (1.5" wide, 1/2" bolt)
2.5" Bypass
Note: We do not guarantee that all bypasses will fit due to the numerous brands and possible custom layouts you can order.
-Many have successfully installed 2.5" bypasses, 3.0 bypass will not fit
-Best tube layout: bypass tubes placed forward towards engine, with remote hose elbow towards the rear bumper.
-We recommend only 12" travel bypasses because shock piston at normal ride height needs to be below comp. tube ports/zones.
