made these for my friend the other day. involves removing coil bucket(rivets), cutting stock bucket down vertical rib. Fast fit up. clean way to fit a 10" stroke shock with 4-6 in lift.

looks good. but i thought it would be a replacement coil bucket, not a shock mount... :(

i'm still figuring out how to build a upper coil bucket for my new coils

If you look at the bumper thread I posted pics of my bumper. I have this style saved. The horns are made so that the main tube slides through during fit up . built in some crumple area so that the frame does not get damaged to badly incase of a hard hit ( so its still a bumper ). PM me if you are interested.

I labeled the coil buckets as such, because it keeps the bucket from folding upward by having the vertical gusset. This happened on my old truck. Any feed back would be appreciated 200+ views ?

8" or 10" stroke shock if the lower mount is in the stock location. Also the suspension is bumped in the stock location..

Thanks!
