The body was on for mock up to ensure clearance wasn't an issue for steering, motor, tranny, etc. I'd suggest "gusseting" the shock mount where you show it tacked to the side of the frame. The frame material is .080-.090" at best and the shock bracket material is probably .375". You can rip a chunk right outta the frame with a good impact. Gussets or some sorta plate under the .375" material will spread the load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayfarer Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 ...I would add a piece on the top of the frame rail..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
