I never moved the shock mounts or the spring perches on my 8.8 from a 97 exploder. I got 2 passenger side plates for the ubolts. heat the ends and tweaked them a little bit only one bolt required a little persuasion. I also used 4* pinion shims and 2 inch lift shackles. but it would ride better if my leafs were not worn out that bad they had the spring assist shocks before from when the last guy owned it. I will replace them eventually. And if need be I'll relocate the mount when and if something breaks.
I just copied this guy as close as I could but the front was only a 2" drop for me I figure it will level out more when the 5.0 goes in.
isn't it 2 drivers side brackets needed? my passenger doesnt work on passenger side
