I think the first thing they do is take the stock shock brackets, swap them side to side and front to back, then elongate the holes to allow them to be rotated slightly (bottom shock bracket) . Am not sure about the top bracket it might just be as simple as installing a upper shock stud thru the frame and voila your shock brackets are there and inexpensive. I have not done it myself but have looked into it for the same reason, to save money......Kieth
