I can do pretty much anything but paint and weld. Can anyone recommend a place I can go to get my rear shock mounts relocated that won’t cost a fortune? They need to be moved so I can set my pinion after SYE and TT

Thanks!
 
When I did my DC driveshaft it seemed like the original shock brackets with the weld on piece was always hanging up on it. The shock bracket was almost vertical and would not slide over immovable rocks. Some people move the shock mount behind the lower control arm to reduce dragging the shock mount. Moving the lower shock mount behind the lower control arm seem to make the shocks a little less vulnerable when backing up in rocks. Here is a post on another thread that might help.

That doesn't matter for most that are just in need of replacements caused by improper bumpstop or an addition to a new lift being done by a shop that's concerned about the things that are always overlooked such as spring pad contact, matching bumpstop extension, exust clearance and so on. We can spend more time on moving the mounts than it takes to install an entire kit. We are very limited to how much they can be moved without outboarding them.

I think it's funny when we complain about the shock mounts being a rock magnet yet the stock control mounts still stay on there. Having said this, shock mounts have always been a peeve of mine... When we do move the control arm mounts, everything up top also has to be moved and raised as well to keep the separation we need, which creates a bigger clearance issue with the tub when running mid/long arms.
