Just by looking at it and knowing how the front shocks mount in the upper position what they say is dead on. I may eventually convert once I get bilstein shocks.

 

Here are some pics from T&J Performance.

i just dont know if they are worth $110 plus shipping to me. but i do like them.

 

Those will work well with someone running large tires and oneton axles. Someone running 33's or so doesnt need that much, with maybe the Jeepspeed exception.

 

i dont think the size of your axle has anything to do with it to be honest. these brackets were made to cure a common problem we see here in the shop. we have a lot of customers that come in with blown out upper shock bushings on vehicles that range from stock to monsters.

 

Seems like a good investment to me. I also dont see how size of the axle or tire makes to much of a difference. If you pull the tires off the groung 2ft or so and slam down on one side the tires not gonna matter its going to hurt. You may get away with it for awhile but eventualy it's going to add up.

 

All i'm saying is there are other options to eliminate the stockish stud type shock mount that will suffice for the smaller rigs... mine included. I'll leave it at that.

Tom, dont think i'm slamming your product, i'm not. I see value in your design for the bigger rigs.

 

i dont think your slamming our product. im just confused why axle & tire size would sway you one way or the other.

 

If i were running a large tire and heavy axle combination, say 38's and a D60 i would be much more inclined to trust your product over the typical eliminators where one bolt/nut is the sole method of attaching to the vehicle.

In other words the truss/gusset design of yours would be much stronger, not necessarily needed on a smaller rig. Again, with the Jeepspeed exception.

I never should have made my original comment, these would be bombproof on a lighter combination.

if people would just run the proper size shocks and bump stops, there would be no need for these. you dont want your shock to be the limitor of your suspension travel. run a set of jks pin eliminators(just as strong) and save some coin.

i could see running them on a jeep speed jeep or if you jump your poor unibody cherokee!!

 

i for sure agree with the face that you should not have your shocks be you travel limiter. (please use limit straps for your own good) i also agree that the JKS and others pin eliminators are strong. but the JKS and others are known for having the top bolt loosen up after a while because of the shock mount turning and backing off the nut. the simple fact is our dont turn at all. the bolts will never back out because the bolt that goes through the shock also goes into the engine compartment to keep it from doing so.

 

Wow! I really stirred things up with these shock conversion mounts. This is great. I'm sure there is a wealth of experience and knowledge available here. I went ahead and ordered from T&J Performance. I know I'm not doing anything crazy now but who knows, maybe in a couple years. I have lots of experince doing things wrong and causing myself so much aggravation. So, I decided to just go all out and do it the best available way. Thanks again for all your insight.
