Default Modified Rear lower control arm mounts cutoff/skids

We decided to repair my bent rear lower control arms mounts. We cut off the shock mounts from the axle. Then we shortened the control arm mounts about 2" and re-welded the shock mounts on. After that I aquired some 1/4" steel and made skid plates for all 4 of the lower control arm mounts. I will no longer worry about bending those any more. And I have 2" more ground clearance.

I thought I was going to have to shorten my uptravel by the same 2" that I raised the shock. But, I didn't have to. I had plenty of up travel in the shock left. I considered raising the shock higher... but, that would have put the shock mount in the way of the rear sway bar mount. As it is I had to drill a new hole for the sway bar mount.


Here are my pictures of my mod.

They are in my photo album section when you look up my info on this site. The pics all show up on my screen. That doesn't make any sense. I had someone else look.. and they see them too.
