        here's mine

        OK fabwads here's how I did it

        Here's the prob, the shock is about half a hole off




        So first I cut through the web to create a nice flat surface



        Don't worry it gets better. Then I cut a tab, or two, to fit in the slot



        Ta daaaa



        As a final touch I drilled a pilot hole in one tab so I can easily drill through when everything is welded together.

        OK...where's Mike-The-Welder

          Off to Mike's shop I went....

          He welded the tabs in place. Drilled through my pilot hole on the mill and spot faced for the nut and bolt.







          Does Mike do nice work, or what!

          Thanks Man :beer:

            Here's more pics after I cleaned up the welds to maximize clearance for the shock top.





            The project snowballed way beyond what I had anticipated, but I am very please with the results so far. Just a few more things to do.

                for the rear, i used 11" which you likely wont fit. i have cleared the way for some pretty long shocks in the back.
                The front is done. :yay:

                So Erik what did you do at the rear? Did you use towers or hoops?

                I am thinking of cutting the tub to make room, then fitting the shocks straight up and down. Angling them forward only reduces their effectiveness :poop: who needs that?!?

                      Bloody hell, you stuck them right through the floor!

                      I was thinking of mounting a hoop to the frame rail then cutting the side of the tub (6x12") and a bit of the floor (6x3") and squeezing a shock in there.

                        lol!
                        i did get a bit carried away when i put these in there, but the location works well.
                        i built some boxes around them, and can still fit the modified rear seat in there. i can also still fit a 35" tire lieing flat on the floor.
                        i have been happpy with them.

                          Hmmm....I'll have to get the measuring stick out.

                          Measure twice, cut once, grind the crap out of it.

                          The good thing is the Jeep can stay active while the mod is in progress :yay:
