Coolant reservoir.

I need to raise my shock towers, and obviously that means I need to relocate my coolant reservoir. My under hood space is at a premium because of all the other shit I have stuffed under there in the past few years. Do I have to use the stock reservoir, or can I buy an aftermarket one that is smaller or a different shape?

Pretty sure you can use another one. I've heard of some D2 guys using DIY PVC ones.

i flipped mine 180 degrees and made a little bracket that put it on the firewall.

but i got wise and mounted the shocks outside the springs and put it back.
i would do that before moving the reservoir.

On that note, what is to be gained by mounting the shocks outside the springs on a traditional radius arm set up?

Did you put it back because it caused cooling problems, or you wanted the performance of the outboard mounted shocks?
