well i bought a dremel, (best invention ever!!!) and got the hinge pins shaved so now they fit perfectly flush with the VBS. I managed to get the suspension mounted and the cvd's in. I've also dremeled down the standoffs to fit the piggybacks and also to clear the DD wingmount, i still have to actually mount the shocks though... anyways, heres some pics:
8mm cvd's with booties:
