rear shock mounts??

[ocbaud]

okay, sometime this month i'm gonna have my drivers side rear shock mount moved toward the center of the axle about an inch or so. i'm doing it to make room to mount the shock because the leaf spring retaining plate is in the way now.

should i go ahead and have the passanger side mount rewelded and moved so that both shocks face the same direction? what would this help?

also, my shock extenders that i have would not slip over the shock mounts, so would it be a better idea to just replace the stock shock mounts(hehe, say that 3 times fast) with the shock extenders welded in there place?

also, when i get this done, i'm also gonna have the bump stops removed, including the metal part that holds the rubber on.
