Bomb Proof does not begin to describe these mounts. They are serious Beef. Taking a step back and looking after the install, I am satisfied. There are a few things I would change though. I didn't really like the idea of drilling through the fender well, but it's done. Because the mount is rectangular there's no way it can spin even if by some force of nature the 7/8" nut came loose. So, I don't think the bolt running through the fender is necessary. I would prefer to have a nut on the mount itself for the shock bolt. On the driver side, the nut on the inside of the fender well rubbed on the brake manifold. Fortunately I was able to bend the break lines just a little to maintain clearance. On the driver side, the main mounting bolt and nut are under the break fluid resevoir and not accessible with a socket. A 1.25" wrench took care of that, slowly though. Here are some more pics from the wheel well and under the hood. I replace my seized Pro-Comp shocks with Monroe Sensa-Trac's, polyurethane bushings and JKS bar-pin eliminators. She rides nice again.
