To day I lifted the rear of my truck 2 inches more in the rear, relocated the shock mounts and had the drive line lengthen. I found out a easy way to remove the ols shock mounts on the rear 14bolt. The wizzerd was taking to long so I graped my air hammer with a sharp chisle and cut the welds. I got both shock mounts off in 3 min. The cuts were nice and clean and a lot less pain in the ass then using a grinder or a torch. Any ways if you are skilled with a air hammer or have access to one give it a try.

I used a grinder on my last truck, wasnt too bad but definately no fun. I will try the air chisel next time.

I have removed 3 sets and I just use a grinder to cut half way into the welds and then a 3 pound sledge does the rest. Factory welds on them are almost a hit and miss kinda thing,LOL

fronts are the same way.
Although air would be nice /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
