what are u guys using for rear shock mount replacements? those bolts that just spin in the body are for the birds.
But that is an incorrect mounting(turning the pivot points 90* from their "natural" movement)!mecrafty said:I am using my rear sway bar mounting brackets a my upper mounts by bolting them through the floor and a support plate using carriage bolts from the topside. I will have to flip the side that the shocks mount on the axle on both side. At least I hope this works (will find out this weekend). Everything looks like it will work that way. I have very long shocks, and they bottom out using the stock locations, so I will be moving the mounding points towards the center of the vehicle.
JKS makes a cool looking contraption if you like bolt on stuff.

I am only using the bracket. I got it done this weekend, but have not uploaded any of the photos. It did work very nicely. I will toss some photos up later this week.
Or you can just be blind to the reality and do whatever comes to mind even if its wrong!bcmaxx said:don't worry about rcp phx he's a very opinionated,jump to conclusion kinda guy, probably just needs to be hugged more
bcmaxx said:more pics please!!! Is that tied into the framerails or welded to the floorpan?? How do you find it as compared to stock?I have a rear roll bar off an old 89 4runner with the removable roof I had planned to do something with oneday!
bcmaxx said:there is a cheap but strong alternative welding the stud to the axle housing, pm me for pics, I'm not interested in hearing from the peanut gallery eg.(rcp phx)
