Default Front Shock Relocation... Nemesis vs Rough Country?

My bilsteins just kiss the frame on full droop so I want to move them outboard.

Rough Country move the top mount out about 2" and costs about $30

Nemesis move the bottom mount out about 1.5" and costs about $80

I see that the nemesis can cause the shock to hit the hard brake line at the caliper when you make a tight turn, so I'm leaning towards the rough country.

Any reason not to go with the Rough Country top mount?

I bought a set of Nemesis mounts but haven't installed yet. Looks like I have to drill open a couple holes not specified anywhere. Been too cold :( I think these are the best front relo's available.

My friend has them with no issues. Just bend the hard line away if any interferences ?

I have the Nemesis lower shock mounts and the only issue I ran into was rubbing the remote reservoir on my shocks before I hit full turn. To be honest I didn't see any real benefits after installing these.

I have the Rough Country ones, and they work perfectly.. My shocks don't come close to touching, and they haven't interfered with anything at all. For 30 bucks.. It's a great deal, for sure.
