they don't look inverted to me, it all depends on the shocks, some come with the bayonet on the body side, some have it on the shaft side, if in fact he still retained the factory post mount, the shock doesn't care what way it is mounted, I much prefer the body to be on top as less chance of damage to the shock body, shafts are pretty tough in comparison.

nice start on the bumper, I like your winch mount!

do you know what inverted means? upside down. look at the shocks..the body is on top. and the factory shock mount has the hole going through the wheel well for the shaft part, and the 2 bolts on the bottom for the body. so he would have to make something so he could change how they bolt. unless theres a kit

Bilstein 5150s mount "can up", and yes, you need adapter brackets.

I'm gonna get subscribed on this, cause I wanna see the end product. Oh, and am I looking at the face of that plate correctly, its bolted to the front crossmember there in 4 places then the bolts for the bumper side plates bolt into it?

Looks like a good start!
