Re: front shock braces

I'm not sure what I understand. More strength than the stock bolt going through the frame? The stock upper mount is pretty damn strong if you ask me. Air ride has a bolt on shock relocater if your looking for more travel??

Re: front shock braces

Why would you need more strength? The shock should not be limiting suspension travel, so the only load should be in the hydraulics of the shock itself. The stock bracket is plenty strong.

Re: front shock braces

Looks to me like it was broke for a while and made the hole in the frame bigger. I will have to weld it later. for now I fitted a washer in there and sandwiched it with two bigger washer on the frame. I found a brace at CCP. I am going to add that a get the frame welded .
