Hi my lower shock months are rotted to hell and where the coils sit on to on bothe sides but the one is bad treied welding but it just melts away what should I do where can I order them from on line or should I just get used ones ore replace the whole axle

For the cost of the new brackets and all the work you might as well just get a new axle

We're could I buy the mounts

You could truss the axle and that would provide new spring perches but honestly if the axle is as bad as you are describing it then you need to yank it out of there and throw in a better condition one from the junkyard. You can get entire axle assemblies cheaper than the truss kits that provide new spring perches.

Unfortunately you have three, well four options really..

1. Probably your best option is to just buy a new D30 axle. All you really need is the housing so a burnt up one will do. (assuming yours still works and is in good shape.) probably the cheapest.

2. Upgrade your axles. Not the cheapest, but best in the long run.

3. Truss it. As linked above, you could go that rout still not the cheapest.

4. Try and weld in new spring mounts. I would not recommend this as the welds could fail and you'll be in some deep ****. And not any closer to fixing the problem.


Good luck.

Yea thanks the axle fine just it's just the mounts it was sitting for a while and the axle only has 80000 miles On it

Seriously? Then find ones that all old and swap the insides, and sell the old ones parts?

Yo is there any better axle I could swap it out with because I got Dana 30 front and 8 1\4 rear in the back with 3.55 gearing

You could swap the back with a ford 8.8 but that wont do a damn for the front.

Its pretty common to put Dana 44s in.
