rear outside frame shock mounts
 
When I installed my exhaust I removed my ece relocators and shocks just too make way for the pipes.
I always wanted outside the frame mounted shocks.
Just never had the need to move them till now.
I see no limits sale on them but I would like too spend $ on something I can't fab on my own.
Allready read a bunch of older threads just looking for some fresh ideas.
Anybody make these lately?

Turns out all I really had to do was relocate my relocators :lol:

I could still use the front oe bolt hole but I needed to move the back of the mount outward (towards the frame rails). So a hole had to be drilled in each about an inch in from the back hole.
Exhaust is done shocks are back in.

Mark my words though I do wanna move these outside the frame.
Just seems they would work better the farther outboard you could get them.

The further out on the axle you get them the better for sure.
I have the No limit kit and it's worth every penny. My little welder want weld over 3/16" plate. + I'm not a welder!
:chevy:

Thanks andy. Your truck initially gave me the idea. But in all reality moving them out just makes sense.

I'm kinda gonna fab up some mounts useing previous gen bottom mounts and front end top mounts. I gotta make the top mounts too work with my notch.

All in do time.

Oh an I wouldn't call myself a welder either,but I've managed to glue some metal together in the past.:lol:
