no but we never moved the shock mounts it dose come with link mounts so you can weld the tabs on top and run a 4 link setup also you have to cut off brake line brackets and weld them onto the new diff cover

Lilbuddy tacoed a couple first gen rears, didn't he?  I believe the second/third gen rears are a stronger housing, but I've heard the taco rears like to split at the perch.

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

Give a man venison, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt Blacktail, he'll be frustrated for life!
