Ford shock towers discontinued?!

[mudde]

Glenn,
I have not had time to post pictures yet. I also don't have a web site so I signed up on this board. Iam hoping to beable to post in a day or so.

Chuck, What I did was <or plan plan is> to have
weld to shock mount to the old mount and to have a renforment piece between the new F 250 mount and the sprig tower. I just got every thing spot welded in now. I need someone with better welding skill's and a 220 volt machine to fininsh it before I really test it out.

When I can post it should make a lot more sence.

Eric,

I just ordered a set of the F250 shock mounts from BCB's yesterday, along with the misc hardware I lost that goes with my Cross inboard rear setup (also not yet installed). I probably won't get around to installing either of them for a month or so (it's too darn cold around here right now). Your pictures of the front setup will be helpful as I want to mount them as high as possible. Leaving a portion of the existing mount to use as an extension sounds like a simple way to go. Now I just need to start saving my pennies for some Bilsteins. Okay, lots and lots of pennies.

here is the last pic. if you want more let me know. I'm running bilstien 7100 with a 360/ 80 vavling. I got them from raceshocks.com. They are rechromed and rebuilt 12 inch travel with heim joint ends . I spoke with lee he owns the company good guy and the price was very fair.

Eric,

Those are helpful pictures. What size lift are you running? With the towers pushed up high, what is the distance between the top and bottom (eye center to center)? Are you running the 12 inch bilstein shock? Did you keep the same outward lean of the F250 tower? If so, does this make your shock angle outward at the top as well? Sorry for all the questions, but this is one of those measure twice cut/weld once things I want to make sure I don't have to redo.

You can e-mail me of-line at broncotime@sbcglobal.net

thanks,
glenn
