Alright guys. My 89 is bagd with from Ibeams and radius arm relocaters and it has the stock front shock mounts on the radius arms. My question Is I found front weld-on shock mounts, can I use stock front shocks with this or do I need shorter shocks? I have a feeling I can just wanted some opinions before I do this. Thanks in advanced.

you can use whatever but you will probably get more lift with a stock length shock using the stock location. Did you allready get the brackets?

not yet prob order them soon it's the suicidedoors.com shock mounts. they have a bucket that welds to the frame. I'll be using the factory loser mount and just weld the upper next to the bag mount.

I noticed that you sell the same brackets for the same price. Probably just order them through you.
