well i got my rear shocks done this last week.  I had already built some mounts and mounted my shocks but it ended up ripping my frame out. lol.  my mount and welds held up but it cracked and tore the frame in the heat affected zone.  sorry i don't have pics of the whole i didn't have my camera when i cut out the frame and plated it.  So i re did my shocks to a v pattern with a crossmember of 2 x.120 wall tubing.  here are some pics

here are my original mounts that i had welded to the frame



here are pics of how the shocks are now





Just immagine the whole in the frame being almost as big as the plate on the frame


A buddy at work who helped me set these up said having the shocks in a v pattern also helps when cornering becuase they will almost act as a sway bar, and after driving it like this it did make a big difference when cornering, i feel alot less body roll.
