Re: rear shock hanging

Here is mine.  Don't mount them directly to the front of the axle. it will hit on somany rocks.  My shock is dented cuzz i did that.  When i put the new axles under it i mounted them in almost same place, but about 4 inches higher.  Just used a piece of 2x2 and cut one wall off of it.  The i took the bolt that comes with the shocks and cut the big threads off.  Then i welded that side the 2x2 and welded it to the top of the axle like so.  It hasn't hit another rock yet.  they have done about 10 trips with no failures.  And i welded them on with a lincoln SP 100 that was turned up all the way.  So it didn't get as much penetraion as i liked.  But it is still holding up
