Rear mounted shocks on outside of the frame?

Hey all I'm iso pics of the rear shock position If you mounted them on the outside of the frame. I have seen a brunch of people do it, but I'm unsure of how they get the tires to clear. this is what I got so far any input would be great.

 

Wheel spacers I believe. I know total chaos makes a bracket and requires a 1.25" wheel spacer. The only other way I could maybe see it working would be a shorter shock and mounting the top as close to the frame as possible. Or maybe lose the hoop and come up with a bracket that planes out with the outside face of the frame. I can't tell how much room you have between the shock and your frame from the picture. I have also seen frames notched for outboards. Seems like a lot of work. Would be fun tho!

 

yeah they fit now with the tires on but I have a feeling the shock might connect with the frame when flexed so that's going to get notched. I'm also think thinking that the tire will hit on up travel.

 

I read somewhere the top of the shock at a 15 degree angle towards the front of the vehicle will give you the most travel without interference. Don't know if it's true or not but saw it somewhere

 

Not sure if this is helpful or not, but this guy has bypasses mounted to the outside of his frame (4th gen).
