Rear shock mount opinions?

DC_Gearhead · Nov 18, 2019

So my rear shock mounts are in bad shape and I need to get some new ones. I’m looking at a couple of options and want some opinions. My rig has a 2.5” SL with 2” BL and 33s. Will be used on streets 90% of time at no more that 45 mph most of the time. I have new bilsteins for the SL. Disk front with drum rears.

Shock mounts I’m looking at are:

Duff Stage 1 rear shock mounts

Any thoughts on these two? I’m open to other suggestions too.

Love Mig's stuff.
If you're just looking to replace the stock ones with stock ones however, there are these as well: https://www.wildhorses4x4.com/product/Rear_Double_Shock_Mounts/bronco_rear_suspension_parts
Meant as a double shock mount obviously, since it's a mimic of the stock mount they can also be used to replace trashed stock mounts.

Those look beefy. That is definitely a good option. I’m going to reach out and see if he has a set available.

If you have the 2" body lift why not take advantage of the space and go with duffs stage 2 or wh shock jock?

Good idea. That would give me some additional travel.

Also depending how soft your suspension is going with the inboard set up can add to the body roll.

For a bronco that's 90% street I'm not how useful long travel is, but I would avoid the ones where the shocks are really inboard of the frame rails unless you have them valved differently. That is probably good for flex, but not for road manners because the body is rolling around putting a lot of leverage on the far inboard shocks..
