Default shock relocation

Do any companies make a relocation brackets for the bottom shock mounts on the rear axle? They stick down way to far. They are just a few inches from the ground.

You just need to make sure your shocks dont bottom out when stuffing a tire, and that your springs dont fall out when dropping a tire.

You can use the lower shock mounts that we make for the Rock Jock 60 rear end.

No pictures on our web site yet. Part # JK-BRKT-RSB sells for $19.95. You can weld them or bolt them on.

Do think any normal automotive shop could weld thoughs on or would you recommend a 4x4 specialty type shop? Also about how many inches does it raise them up I would like to do this with a BB lift and still use the stock shocks.

rock krawler was the first to make them i forgot one other. with all of them you need to measure the rear shocks for correct length.
