Upper Shock Mounts-

We are using an adjustable upper shock mount set-up on the rear. The brackets were for a square tube chassis, so we re-notched the brackets to work for this chassis.

Here are some pieces I made up to box in the brackets.

Here’s how the pieces fit around the bracket. You’ll notice the top hole will not be utilized.

You can see I used a heavier piece of steel on the top. This will have a 1 1/4″ gusset tube connecting to the upper bar for support. This will reinforce the rear shock mount, as the whole rear of the truck is supported at this point.

This is the front driveshaft loop. Which will be removable.

Here’s the rear driveshaft loop, which will be welded in place. I made some bushings on the lathe that went into both sides of each loop before welding them together.
