YJ Progress
calvynandhobbs:
My rear axle has lower shock mounts, but the front one does not. Should I weld the mounts onto the side of the axle tube (so they do not hang below) or should I go to the spring plates? With the SOA I think there's 4-5" in shock length so I'm thinking I'd be better off going to the axle tube to keep the shocks longer. What do ya'll say?
Big Chuck:
I say keep it simple and stay on the plate.
Mreecew:
I'd say stay on the plate and see if works for you. If it doesn't, it isn't hard to change them down the road.

What he said, but if you have to buy shocks then I would set it up they way you want ( 4" up & 8" down travel?) and set the mounts where they work best. you may not have enough room to mount then on the tube so you may have to raise the upper mount...
calvynandhobbs:
Not spending much time in the barn on the YJ, but I did manage to pick up a bumper and winch plate for it today.
