Yep I considered that as well and that is the theory I am going with on my fj40. I know they are cheap but where did you find them for 9$?
EDIT: Not that it matters but since the opportunity arose and it may help one person I will share a quick story. I had the ford shock towers on a samurai and the constant torque back and forth with that much leverage on a small footprint basically ripped a 4" x 4" hole in my frame...... BUT obviously the frame on my samurai was tin foil compared to the frame on these minis or an fj40 so I am not at all saying it isn't a great option. Honestly I don't plan on plating where the shock hoop is going too disperse the force so it is probably worse in theory.....?? This is more intended so you can help save your buddys with samurais from having an incident as I have
