OK, so I got the stock rear sway bar mount that I will be using to make rear BPE's. Is there anything else that I can do to lengthen the shocks by an additional 1/2" to 1" without redoing the lower mount?

Also anything special that needs/should be done while using the rear sway bar mounts?

There is added bind if you just use the swaybar mount but if you need more length anyway, why not add a block in there and rotate them while you are at it? I know that several people have rotated their mounts and use them that way (I believe they relocated them and rotated them and created new wholes to attach.

I would just wack the bottom mount off and move it up, costs nothing and takes less time than getting the bpe's in from shipping.

Just my take,
Michael

I know that doing the bottom is best, but that means I gott aget someone to weld it up and do it for me.... and I will still have to do it anyways when I get longer shackles...... So might as well start from the top, and keep my two anchors where they are for now

Why not then just make spacers and use longer bolts.
