The reason we built that cage the way it is is so that the vehicle can be supported fully by the beefier LCA and the reinforced upper shock mount; in doing so we were able to gain enough clearance to bolt the shock into the frame so that in can be adjusted while installed, something the DSE version is not able to do. We follow function first, form second in our engineering approach.

No doubt you will be getting some of my hard earned money for your phenomenal spindles!
If I do make DSE-esc brackets, I was thinking of maintaining the stock front hole location and lower the rear hole to add a little more anti-dive and use ATS tall spindles.
I've never thought about it, but how do the tall spindles effect roll center height compared to the g-mod?
As far as functionality over form, I've put some thought into fitting weight jacks to the sub-frame. The link below is the best picture I could come up with.

A stock type shock could be used and I don't think it gets any easier to adjust corner weights then that. Course you get zero bling points going this route. Don't give me any flack because in the picture it's on a hotrod, the idea is sound regardless.
