those of you who do the 8.8 swap and use the ruff stuff kit, what do you do for shock mounts and brake line tab mounts?

 

I always use these tabs mounted off the side of the tubes (NOT bottom or top)

and I keep the stock barpin setup on the body side. hasn't failed me yet



for the T fitting on the brake lines I just weld a bolt to the tube. I usually just make it a permanent weld and leave the fitting on there for better or worse, but you could weld the bolt head to the tube and then screw the nut on to clamp down the T fitting. then just form the hard lines snuggly to the tube, around the leafs, and around the diff.

that stuff is the easy part. centering the leaf perches/axle by yourself is the hard part
