Not sure why you think that looks rude?
Perhaps you could draw us a diaphragm of what you mean?

Any reason for not running rear spring clamps?
Great build
will have to spend an evening having a read through your laning blogs now too!

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configuration
You'd think I would run rear spring clamps, especially considering I sell them -
But my spring and total shock length (with repositioners/spacers on the bottom) are matched perfectly, so I never thought I'd need them... until losing a shock!
So they'll be going on in the impending rear rebuild, it was going to be Wednesday / Sunday but will now be Sunday / Sunday as the Gold daily driver Jimny failed it's test this morning and requires a bit of welding before the retest, which needs to be done within a week to get a free retest...
My ProComp rear shocks have taken a battering (still running AVO shocks on the front), I emailed JB for a price for their 'Black Raptor' brand ones (which look just like AVO ones) but never got a response, but in the meantime I found these -
Some trailmaster shocks I had returned to me when I was a dealer for them a few years ago, from what I recollect the customer complained they squeaked a bit, but that won't bother me, I won't hear them over all the other noise
And these are due to land tomorrow -
Limiting Straps from Damar Webbing, who I've used many times over the years
To stop the shocks drooping to full stretch and the piston hitting the top of the tube...
So it's time to cut another hole in the floor to make a new shock top mount again, and then reassembly using the new bits above, including the spring clamps you mentioned
The repair of the other side is featured way back on Page 82 of this build thread
