ok so i am going to build some front lower shock mounts. to get rid of bar pin any way here is a pic of the brackets i got today.

i will start on Thursday when i get some time. but i will need to cut down the mounts and enlarge the holes a bit. i hope this will show some people how to make better mounts for a lot cheaper then the aftermarket ones

ok i could not wait so here is basically one side getting done first cut the brackets to size

and tacked in place

then i welded both sided of the bracket and painted it black to stop rust.

sorry if that was rushed but i wanted to do one side and then get more detailed pics on the next side. but it was pretty easy took about 15 minuets.

this was a 10 dollar project so very cheap and easy

here is a pic of the shocks mounted

I have 1/4 plate steel sitting in the garage crying to be cut and welded. What a good way to make it happy and create a little more shock travel.

Good idea man! I think I would put more bracing on the bottom, to connect the two pieces. Just to give it more strangth.

Now that's using your noodle. Great idea.

Good Idea I am making one similar for the top so I can run some Bilstien 5150's but now I may have to do it to the bottom as well.

trust me it is strong I sacked it a few good times with a hammer. And they are solid. Plus they are so short that I could not get a truss on it.

I finshed the second side. I will post pics when I am one my home pc. I am one the iPhone now.

You and your hi-tech toys.

a1racer wanna build me a set and then drive to my house and weld them on an axle for me..

Sure you are what like 2500 miles or more.

A1, nice idea! I run full traction BPE's and they look like that but with a flat bottom and bolt on. I like your permanent mount better. Are you gonna do that for the rear uppers to? It would be a LIFESAVER since getting those pesky snap-prone bolts out sucks.
