Ford Shock Towers

[hatfieldcb]

Does anyone have the part number for the F-250 shock tower mount. What year truck? Does anyone have any pics of their install? The link in the tech section is broken.

TIA

Chris

You can always come up and see how mine are mounted. I would drive down there but I took the truck apart again.

I photoshopped the lens flare to make them bling

If you have access to a welder, you might want to try the following Ftower mod:

What's the pro/con of straightening the tower? I'm going to install FJ60 PS.

I think this mod simply reduces the amount of inner-fender trimming required to run Ftowers...

Sorry, can't help you w/fj60 PS...

Another pro is it reduces the chance of front your wheels rubbing the shocks oh and it let you run a bit longer shock too, ford tower works nicely with the fj60 powersteering conversion. I would temporary mount the box and see how much you can straight the tower then go for it.
