I picked up my lengthened and newly balanced driveshaft today

New lower shock mounts that I will need to weld to the bottom of the axle according to the length of my shocks to use them as limiting straps. This is possible with these shocks because they have internal bumpstops and are made specifically for limiting axle travel. If you don't have this type shock and go over a speed bump or RR tracks fast and unload the suspension you will blow the seals and shock is ruined. If you have shocks without the internal bumpstop you have to install limiting straps made of nylon webbing- not fooling with that.
