Re: Shock Mount - lil help

Senario A ( I am in a hurry and need this done fast )
Option 1 Pay the dealer $66 and be glad it is not $166
Option 2 Weld it up, may not look 100%, but it is cheap and done
tonight

Senario B ( why hurry, it is cold and dark, it can wait )
Option 1 I bet you can find a cheap one from a scrap yard / service
station / local jeep club member

Re: Shock Mount - lil help

I'm going to do the F250 towers. I'd gladly send you my stock one for the
cost of shipping, but unfortunately I won't have the old ones out for a few
more weeks probably.

If I ever get going on my tub swap project!

Re: Shock Mount - lil help

I did the Ford part conversion to mine. One of the best modifications for
articulation that I have done (but then I had the shorter mounts).
