dont know if i ever posted about relocating my shock mounts , but today i went ahead and bought some new u-bolts and made up 1/2" holding plate , looks weird not seeing anything hanging down but the diff haha, still need to put bumpstops on
old mount plate

Looks good.

It might be agood idea to retorque them after some wheeling. They may settle in a bit. You wouldn't want to Goat a driveshaft.

lol , will do

Looks good. What size u-bolts are you using. I wouldn't use anything smaller than 9/16. Also if you bend the edges of the flat plate up it will prevent any warping which might occur.

On my truck I torque stripe all important nut's and bolts. I have found a few which broke torque after a trail run. A white paint pen works good. There's actually real torque stripe you can buy, aircrafts parts supply will have it.

Definately second the no smaller than 9/16" dia U-bolts. That waht I had when I was IFS. I had also built my own custom plates from 1/2" and bent the ends up. Super strong! Now I'm using 9/16" plates from an IH truck (going to weld braces to then ends) and 5/8" dia U-bolts.
