No problem, do you have a Samurai with Toyota rear springs on it to install these to?

pretty sweet

I was going to say maybe some bracing for the c-channel that it bolts into, because it looks like the shackle could really torque on it flexing out, but then I noticed the bolt all they way through the frame which will help with that...so... :dunno:, better safe than sorry? nice fab  :biggthumpup:

The bushing may flex them into the frame when travelling in and out.

how are you going to mount them at the top? a rubber bushing would not last long.
