I can't remember, did Roger have to relocate the pass side shock? I can't see how there's room for the shock stud on the side of the frame where the bag would mount.

N2TRUX I sent you a message asking the same question.

Ken, I spoke w/Roger & he confirmed that he did 'flip' the pass side shock to use the ART kit.

you have to make another lower bracket or just flip and reweld it. i used 2x4 3/16" steel and notched it appropriately to match the contour of the rear end and it works fine so far. you can drill a hole in the rear after determining the correct position from a equal point on both sides. you will have to clearance the frame in the same manner as the drivers side(at least i had to) or the shock will rub the frame. new shocjs come with the studs to mount the shock, so you can measure the hole diameter off of that. good luck!

Thanks for sharing. I had an idea on what it would take but I'm going a different route.

I could spend $300 for the ART AOL kit + a little more for materials to relocate the shock or I could use some small dbl convoluted bags I already have & spend the same money toward the materials making upper bag brackets that attatch to the c-notch plates.

The fab time is roughly the same so that's a wash & I already have the bags so they're paid for. I figure for <$30, I'll try to make my own. If it doesn't work, I'll get the ART kit & relocate the shock.
