its been so long since I bought them I forgot the rears ROCK! I have them inboard to fit my huge back spacing.

I was going to use F250 mounts but these look way better.

why pay extra for something that is essentially an f250 mt.?

because this mount looks much stronger and I plan to run coil overs later on, these seem to meet both needs at a similar cost.

I have F250 mounts and my 7100's bolt right up. If your planning to upgrade later on, then just bolt the shock mounts on, then you have a clean slate when you upgrade. I know of a couple of Bronco's running the superduty mounts that are only bolted on, I haven't heard of them having any problems with them. If your concerned about the frame strength you could always weld a 1/4" plate to the frame for added 'bite'.

Those shock mounts definitely have the cool factor. Your 7100's are not the short bodies, and with a 22" collapsed length, you'll need a mounting height of 18" above the bottom of the frame. And thats with 4" bump stops. The F-250 mounts and the Ballistic mounts are both 14" long, so either will need to be modified (lengthened) to work. If your not running a 3" body lift, you'll need to cut your fenderwells. I have the short body 14's and they just fit under my fenders with a 2" body lift.

yeah we had had this discussion at fab fords I think, I don't want to hack up two f250 mounts there has to be a better way.

That what I thought when I opened the link. If you have a good part counterman at the sealership you can get new ones for about $10-12 a side.

yeah I am gonna try the ford dealership in the town here but I am not holding my breath.
