I have noticed that the shock mounts on the front axle of my YJ are only welded on the outside of the brackets.
You might have some better luck if you run a bead along the inside of each bracket....
Also, I noticed that my lower shock mounts were both a little bit tweaked by the rocks. So, after straitening them with a large crescent wrench I welded a 3-4" long piece of 1/8" angle iron to each side of the mounts. This give the entire mount more stability without having to add a bunch of weight.
Just a thought....
