I've seen these before. Why do the stock mounts holes tend to fail on lowered trucks?

The factory located the chock in such a way that that as the suspension is compressed (lowered) the shock becomes angled relative to the mounting stud. This angle results in a bending moment on the upper shock stud. Most lowered length shocks are valved stiffer than the OE length to compensate for the shorter suspension travel available because of the lowered ride height.

These brackets are very similar to the OE brackets used on some of the 4 wheel drive trucks. I guess GM figured out the stud was not attached very well but only fixed the problem on 4x4’s.

I made this part several years ago. I think it will interchange to the OE part. If it does not line up it is atleast very close and may end up working anyway.
