Switched from a Dana 60 which had the shock mounts on the same side of the axle to a 14 bolt which had the shocks on front and back. Took it to a mechanic who instead of welding the differing shock mount to the other side so as to mimic the Dana 60 mounting pattern...just shifted the mount to line up with the frame mounts. Now one shock is extended a lot more than the other...is this safe? Should I have it redone?
