Here is FAST Fabrication custom shock mounts prior to weld and over lay plate. These were completely designed by a Master Carpenter not a Fabricator and has never claimed to be one, he built the whole thing with (Jigsaw, Grinder, Cut-Off, Drill, Hammer, Vise, Tape Measure, Level, Plumb Bob, Clamps, and Welded) the thing is perfect, shocks are correct distance, completely vertical ends do not rub anywhere on trailing arm and spacers are same distance, and shock mount follows same plan as trailing arm. Over lay plate is getting cut tomo then I am going to see about getting letters cut into it by CNC otherwise will do it with a drill, jigsaw, and die grinder.
In your guys opinion does it look strong enough, its 1/8 plate has one vertical rib on the inside, may box bottom corners or put vertical wedges at the bottom to if you think it needs it. It was very difficult took 2.5 days lots of going back and forth to the grinding with the compound angles and then the driver side tubes being half inch in. We were able to keep it symetrical from distance to tube and mounting position, only difference from back you can see a lil top edge from inside plate on driverside, tube is 1/2" off but turns into about 1/8" because shocks are stagger because trailing arms do not go straight back they go at an angle.
the previous one, I cant show the tape measure pictures maybe in the future
just finished pass side today
