No going back now. Fired up the grinder/cutting wheel. Bigger shocks=better, right?
I cut out the wheel opening on the right side and saved the metal as a template to mark the left side, so that the holes are identical. Might as well do something that makes sense in the midst of what makes no sense...
After that, I used some 1/4" thick angle iron to start fabbing up some rear shock towers. The shock mounts are forward facing, toward the front of the fenderwell. The truck already had the stock type mounts placed there by someone else, but I needed more distance for the shocks I have. So, they got cut out and these are being fabbed in place.
Pics finally attached.
