Rear shock mount
« on: August 09, 2007 - 01:49:13 PM »
There were air shocks on my Dodge long before I got it, and its led a very rough life.  The upper mounting holes are FUBAR'ed, I was wondering if anyone had fixed this before?  I can't find stock replacement sheetmetal, should I just whack it out and replace it with a stronger homemade unit?

A whole lot of rust and very little time to work on it...

if you want to make it indestructble you could weld a tube across the frame with tabs to mount the shocks
