you can use your rear swaybar mounts... OR buy some JKS or Teraflex ones for pretty cheap...

You "do not" want to use sway bar mounts for bpe's.It rotates to pivot point 90* and will cause binding!

what do you mean... how is it any different that a bar pin up up front on the axle mount?
you could use them for front bpe right? i dont know if the holes will line up but does it matter if the front shocks rotate?
he is right. the way you want your shocks to mount is the way they are mounted from factory. JKS and Rocky Road keep the eyelet the same, rustys however pivots the shocks 90deg. i think the rocky roads are about 25-30 shipped, id go with those instead of making some.

Its not!You dont want to use them up front either!JKS mounts(and all the other "reputable" manufacturer's) do not change the pivot points.uncc civilengineer said:

I've been using this method in the rear for years and, at 6.5" of lift and 33s, the tires stuff the wheel well long before any binding occurs. I've never had a negative issue having done this. The bolts preload the bushing and there is no clunking or binding.
