Need'n some help with rear shock placement. Swapped in a 60 rear axle, and flipped the springs. Can't relocate the upper shock mounts to the back side the xmember cuz of the gas tank. Rig see's some street use, mainly trails.
My options seem to be to move the lower mount outside the u-bolts on top of the axle. That seems like too much shock angle. On the front of the axle housing, or fab a new crossmember forward of the OEM one and leave the lower mounts on the skid plates (which will probably come off in a year or so anyway.
