I had to do all that because the track bar riser bracket was bottoming against the frame really hard. There was only about 1 inch of distance between the top of the polyurethane bumpstop and the top of the track bar riser. When the suspension compressed after a hard bump or jump, the track bar riser would smack the frame with a loud metallic thunk. I didn't like that at all.
Next, I fabbed up a set of plates to modify the lower track bar mount. Instead of the bolt being in single shear (which makes it easier to break), it is now in double shear which I like a lot more.
Now I just have to grind it all smooth and paint it up to make it all pretty once again. I still have to get some new bolts for everything and finish making my new bump stop mount for that side. Hope to have some more progress pics by Tuesday or Wed!!
