Rear Shock Mount

Roger

I modified my lower shock attachment plates last weekend. PM me your email address if you want and I'll send you a picture- Can't seem to load a photo here. I did 1" just like you. I cut the ear with the shock bolt on it and slid it 1" forward and welded it back on. I expect it will work just fine since the shock is more than an inch from the axle housing. There's no gas tank in the car now so hope it won't be a problem later.
