Shock mounts

[Skiddy]

Getting ready to re-do all my suspension. going with 3 1/2" lift with long arms. think I am going to with F250 mounts for the front. not sure what to do for the rear. I have 3" body lift. it is 90% off road.
you all got any pics and links, would love to see

Before you spend time and money on long travel shock mounts, remove the shocks and go cycle you're suspension, twist it as much as possible (RTI ramp would be handy here). Measure between the current shock mounts on both sides.

See if there is a shock that will fit that range.

This isn't the best pic to show, but these are stock mounts. Its not an RTI winner by any means, but it does very good on the trails and rocks, which it was built for

If you get the f250 mounts I suggest you mock them up and get the shocks your going to use before welding them up. You maybe inclined to put them as high and you can which can limit the number and brand of shocks you can use. Don't ask me how I know...%)

If it's gonna be used mostly off road just buy or make an inboard mount. Lots of travel but you will get body roll on the highway

Be sure to weld a piece of plate to frame before welding F250 mounts up as high as possible. I welded straight to frame and pass side ripped off of frame due to excess droop weight. Weld held, metal ripped outside of weld

 

[Skiddy]

some really good tips and ideas. thanks

I've got f-250 mounts on the shelf. Some guys posted leave some of the stock mount for extra strength if you're mounting em up high

Seems like he has a lot less work to do as well
